1

If side x = 12cm, side y = 5cm, and side z = 7cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
24cm
29cm
26cm
27cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 12cm + 5cm + 7cm = 24cm


2

If side a = 8, side b = 9, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{145} \)
\( \sqrt{37} \)
5
\( \sqrt{97} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 92
c2 = 64 + 81
c2 = 145
c = \( \sqrt{145} \)


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 8. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
486π
196π
576π
81π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(82 x 9)
v = 576π


4

Find the value of a:
3a + y = 4
6a + 5y = 4

42% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{7}{9}\)
\(\frac{3}{7}\)
\(\frac{5}{6}\)
-13\(\frac{1}{3}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of y:

3a + y = 4
y = 4 - 3a

then substitute the result (4 - 3a) into the second equation:

6a + 5(4 - 3a) = 4
6a + (5 x 4) + (5 x -3a) = 4
6a + 20 - 15a = 4
6a - 15a = 4 - 20
-9a = -16
a = \( \frac{-16}{-9} \)
a = 1\(\frac{7}{9}\)


5

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 16?

71% Answer Correctly
34π
16π
14π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 16π
