1

If side a = 4, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{26} \)
\( \sqrt{80} \)
\( \sqrt{113} \)
\( \sqrt{145} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 82
c2 = 16 + 64
c2 = 80
c = \( \sqrt{80} \)


2

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

all acute angles equal each other

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles


Solution

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°).


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 7. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
49π
216π
196π
125π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(72 x 1)
v = 49π


4

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


5

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

radius

circumference

diameter

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).
