1

If side a = 1, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{162} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{130} \)
5

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 12 + 82
c2 = 1 + 64
c2 = 65
c = \( \sqrt{65} \)


2

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

parallel

equal angle

right angle

equal length


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


3

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

68% Answer Correctly

h2 x l2 x w2

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh

h x l x w


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


4

If b = 1 and y = -5, what is the value of 6b(b - y)?

69% Answer Correctly
-640
-240
36
-50

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

6b(b - y)
6(1)(1 + 5)
6(1)(6)
(6)(6)
36


5

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

slope

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

x-intercept

y-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.
