1

If side a = 1, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{13} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{89} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 12 + 72
c2 = 1 + 49
c2 = 50
c = \( \sqrt{50} \)


2

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 7, c = 7, d = 9, and h = 4. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
9
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)
32
25

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(7 + 9)(4)
a = ½(16)(4)
a = ½(64) = \( \frac{64}{2} \)
a = 32


3

Simplify (4a)(9ab) + (9a2)(7b).

65% Answer Correctly
-27a2b
99ab2
99a2b
208a2b

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(4a)(9ab) + (9a2)(7b)
(4 x 9)(a x a x b) + (9 x 7)(a2 x b)
(36)(a1+1 x b) + (63)(a2b)
36a2b + 63a2b
99a2b


4

If a = c = 7, b = d = 8, what is the area of this rectangle?

79% Answer Correctly
63
30
56
54

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 7 x 8
a = 56


5

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π r2

a = π d2

a = π d


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.
