1

If side a = 6, side b = 9, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{117} \)
\( \sqrt{61} \)
\( \sqrt{52} \)
\( \sqrt{128} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 62 + 92
c2 = 36 + 81
c2 = 117
c = \( \sqrt{117} \)


2

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


3

If the base of this triangle is 8 and the height is 9, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
71\(\frac{1}{2}\)
52
36
60

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 8 x 9 = \( \frac{72}{2} \) = 36


4

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r2

c = π r

c = π d

c = π d2


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.


5

If a = c = 6, b = d = 7, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
42
56
35
15

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 6 x 7
a = 42
