If the area of this square is 16, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
| 9\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 2\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 4\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{16} \) = 4
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 = 42 + 42
c2 = 32
c = \( \sqrt{32} \) = \( \sqrt{16 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{16} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 4\( \sqrt{2} \)
The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?
a = π r |
|
a = π d2 |
|
a = π r2 |
|
a = π d |
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.

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?
2lw x 2wh + 2lh |
|
h2 x l2 x w2 |
|
lw x wh + lh |
|
h x l x w |
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.
