If the area of this square is 25, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

69% Answer Correctly
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) = 5

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 = 52 + 52
c2 = 50
c = \( \sqrt{50} \) = \( \sqrt{25 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 5\( \sqrt{2} \)


2

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 11?

71% Answer Correctly
22π
12π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 11)
c = 22π


3

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, 7). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2
-1
1

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, 7) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(7.0) - (-1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2


5

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r2

c = π r

c = π d

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.
