1

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

a2 - c2

c - a

c2 + a2

c2 - a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


2

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

53% Answer Correctly

π r2h

4π r2

π r2h2

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.


3

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

90°

45°

360°

180°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


4

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If x° = 147, what is the value of d°?

73% Answer Correctly
157
17
147
143

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 x° = 147, the value of d° is 147.

Simplify 4a x 7b.

86% Answer Correctly
28a2b2
28\( \frac{a}{b} \)
11ab
28ab

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

4a x 7b = (4 x 7) (a x b) = 28ab
