1

If side a = 2, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{58} \)
\( \sqrt{68} \)
\( \sqrt{53} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 22 + 72
c2 = 4 + 49
c2 = 53
c = \( \sqrt{53} \)


2

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

51% Answer Correctly

rhombus

triangle

trapezoid

quadrilateral


Solution

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


3

Solve for y:
-7y + 6 < \( \frac{y}{9} \)

44% Answer Correctly
y < 1\(\frac{10}{53}\)
y < \(\frac{3}{5}\)
y < \(\frac{18}{35}\)
y < \(\frac{27}{32}\)

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.

-7y + 6 < \( \frac{y}{9} \)
9 x (-7y + 6) < y
(9 x -7y) + (9 x 6) < y
-63y + 54 < y
-63y + 54 - y < 0
-63y - y < -54
-64y < -54
y < \( \frac{-54}{-64} \)
y < \(\frac{27}{32}\)


4

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π r2

c = π r

c = π d2


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.


5

Simplify 2a x 4b.

85% Answer Correctly
8\( \frac{b}{a} \)
6ab
8ab
8a2b2

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.

2a x 4b = (2 x 4) (a x b) = 8ab
