If the area of this square is 16, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
9\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{16} \) = 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\( \sqrt{2} \)


2

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π d2

a = π r2

a = π d


Solution

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.


3

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

parallel

equal angle

equal length

right angle


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


4

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

triangle

trapezoid

quadrilateral

rhombus


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


5

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

67% Answer Correctly

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h2 x l2 x w2

lw x wh + lh

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.
