If the area of this square is 1, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
| 4\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 8\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 5\( \sqrt{2} \) |
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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{1} \) = 1
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 = 12 + 12
c2 = 2
c = \( \sqrt{2} \)
Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?
the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides |
|
opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal |
|
the area of a parallelogram is base x height |
|
a parallelogram is a quadrilateral |
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?
all of these |
|
origin |
|
x-axis |
|
y-axis |
The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.
If angle a = 48° and angle b = 50° what is the length of angle d?
| 126° | |
| 159° | |
| 132° | |
| 118° |
An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:
d° = b° + c°
To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 48° - 50° = 82°
So, d° = 50° + 82° = 132°
A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:
a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 48° = 132°
The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?
h x l x w |
|
h2 x l2 x w2 |
|
2lw x 2wh + 2lh |
|
lw x wh + lh |
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.
