If the area of this square is 49, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
6\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{49} \) = 7

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 = 72 + 72
c2 = 98
c = \( \sqrt{98} \) = \( \sqrt{49 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{49} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 7\( \sqrt{2} \)


2

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

radius

chord

diameter


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


3

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

75% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute


Solution

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


4

If side a = 2, side b = 6, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{80} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{40} \)
\( \sqrt{98} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 22 + 62
c2 = 4 + 36
c2 = 40
c = \( \sqrt{40} \)


5

Solve for z:
2z - 4 < \( \frac{z}{1} \)

44% Answer Correctly
z < 4
z < -\(\frac{15}{19}\)
z < \(\frac{5}{7}\)
z < 3

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

2z - 4 < \( \frac{z}{1} \)
1 x (2z - 4) < z
(1 x 2z) + (1 x -4) < z
2z - 4 < z
2z - 4 - z < 0
2z - z < 4
z < 4
z < \( \frac{4}{1} \)
z < 4
