For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?
c2 - a2 |
|
c - a |
|
c2 + a2 |
|
a2 - c2 |
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, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)
If the area of this square is 25, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
| 8\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 2\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 5\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 6\( \sqrt{2} \) |
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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) = 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\( \sqrt{2} \)

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.
If side a = 7, side b = 1, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?
| \( \sqrt{53} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{98} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{82} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{50} \) |
According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:
c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 72 + 12
c2 = 49 + 1
c2 = 50
c = \( \sqrt{50} \)
On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:
circumference |
|
diameter |
|
chord |
|
radius |
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).
