For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?
c2 - a2 |
|
c2 + a2 |
|
a2 - c2 |
|
c - a |
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, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)
If angle a = 65° and angle b = 50° what is the length of angle d?
| 153° | |
| 115° | |
| 159° | |
| 123° |
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° - 65° - 50° = 65°
So, d° = 50° + 65° = 115°
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° - 65° = 115°
The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 3, and width (w) = 5. What is the surface area?
| 126 | |
| 38 | |
| 78 | |
| 210 |
The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):
sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 3 x 5) + (2 x 5 x 6) + (2 x 3 x 6)
sa = (30) + (60) + (36)
sa = 126
What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 6?
| 1π | |
| 12π | |
| 16π | |
| 38π |
The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:
c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 6)
c = 12π
Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?
same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other |
|
all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles |
|
all acute angles equal each other |
|
angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles |
Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and 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°).
