1

If side a = 4, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{80} \)
\( \sqrt{17} \)
\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{74} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 82
c2 = 16 + 64
c2 = 80
c = \( \sqrt{80} \)


2

If b = 4 and y = -3, what is the value of -9b(b - y)?

69% Answer Correctly
-252
12
-96
-504

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.)

-9b(b - y)
-9(4)(4 + 3)
-9(4)(7)
(-36)(7)
-252

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If y° = 151, what is the value of b°?

73% Answer Correctly
38
151
31
146

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 y° = 151, the value of b° is 151.


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 5. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
144π
98π
125π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(52 x 5)
v = 125π


5

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

54% Answer Correctly

π r2h2

π r2h

4π r2

2(π r2) + 2π rh


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.
