If side a = 5, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?
| \( \sqrt{98} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{145} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{89} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{13} \) |
According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:
c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 52 + 82
c2 = 25 + 64
c2 = 89
c = \( \sqrt{89} \)
Simplify (9a)(9ab) - (2a2)(7b).
| 67a2b | |
| 162ab2 | |
| 95a2b | |
| -67ab2 |
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.
(9a)(9ab) - (2a2)(7b)
(9 x 9)(a x a x b) - (2 x 7)(a2 x b)
(81)(a1+1 x b) - (14)(a2b)
81a2b - 14a2b
67a2b
If the area of this square is 81, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
| 8\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 4\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 3\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 9\( \sqrt{2} \) |
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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{81} \) = 9
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 = 92 + 92
c2 = 162
c = \( \sqrt{162} \) = \( \sqrt{81 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{81} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?
a2 - c2 |
|
c - a |
|
c2 + a2 |
|
c2 - a2 |
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, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)
On this circle, line segment AB is the:
diameter |
|
chord |
|
radius |
|
circumference |
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).
