If side a = 4, side b = 1, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?
| \( \sqrt{41} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{17} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{50} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{117} \) |
According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:
c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 12
c2 = 16 + 1
c2 = 17
c = \( \sqrt{17} \)
If the area of this square is 25, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
| 2\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 5\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 8\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{2} \) |
To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:
a = s2
so the length of one side of the square is:
s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) = 5
The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:
c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 52 + 52
c2 = 50
c = \( \sqrt{50} \) = \( \sqrt{25 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 5\( \sqrt{2} \)
If a = c = 5, b = d = 6, and the blue angle = 63°, what is the area of this parallelogram?
| 64 | |
| 3 | |
| 30 | |
| 63 |
The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:
a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 6
a = 30
The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 0) and (2, -8). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?
| y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3 | |
| y = -2x - 4 | |
| y = -x - 3 | |
| y = -2x + 3 |
The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -4. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 0) and (2, -8) so the slope becomes:
m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-8.0) - (0.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-8}{4} \)Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:
y = -2x - 4
This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If w° = 29, what is the value of x°?
| 16 | |
| 170 | |
| 38 | |
| 151 |
For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:
Applying these relationships starting with w° = 29, the value of x° is 151.
