If the area of this square is 64, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) = 8

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 = 82 + 82
c2 = 128
c = \( \sqrt{128} \) = \( \sqrt{64 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 8\( \sqrt{2} \)


2

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 2, c = 6, d = 2, and h = 3. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
6
18
10\(\frac{1}{2}\)
20

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(2 + 2)(3)
a = ½(4)(3)
a = ½(12) = \( \frac{12}{2} \)
a = 6

Factor y2 - 7y + 12

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 4)(y - 3)
(y - 4)(y + 3)
(y - 4)(y - 3)
(y + 4)(y + 3)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce 12 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -7. For this problem, those two numbers are -4 and -3. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 7y + 12
y2 + (-4 - 3)y + (-4 x -3)
(y - 4)(y - 3)

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% Answer Correctly

circumference

diameter

radius

chord


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


5

If angle a = 36° and angle b = 34° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
89°
103°
110°
108°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 36° - 34° = 110°
