If the area of this square is 25, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

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

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) = 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\( \sqrt{2} \)


2

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

4

5

3

2


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


3

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

68% Answer Correctly

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


4

Solve for z:
-5z + 3 < -2 + z

55% Answer Correctly
z < -2
z < \(\frac{8}{9}\)
z < \(\frac{1}{2}\)
z < \(\frac{5}{6}\)

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.

-5z + 3 < -2 + z
-5z < -2 + z - 3
-5z - z < -2 - 3
-6z < -5
z < \( \frac{-5}{-6} \)
z < \(\frac{5}{6}\)


5

If a = 5, b = 9, c = 7, and d = 4, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
14
25
18
10

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 5 + 9 + 7 + 4
p = 25
