1

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c - a

c2 + a2

c2 - a2

a2 - c2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


2

If a = 1 and y = -4, what is the value of 9a(a - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
32
-96
45
-72

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

9a(a - y)
9(1)(1 + 4)
9(1)(5)
(9)(5)
45


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 9. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
72π
324π
729π
32π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(92 x 9)
v = 729π


4

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

y-axis

origin

all of these

x-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


5

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If z° = 10, what is the value of w°?

73% Answer Correctly
13
162
10
147

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other
  • same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°)

Applying these relationships starting with z° = 10, the value of w° is 10.
