1

If side a = 6, side b = 6, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{72} \)
\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{90} \)
10

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 62 + 62
c2 = 36 + 36
c2 = 72
c = \( \sqrt{72} \)


2

What is 6a5 + 4a5?

75% Answer Correctly
2
24a5
10a10
10a5

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

6a5 + 4a5 = 10a5


3

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

58% Answer Correctly

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

sum of interior angles = 180°


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


4

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d2

c = π d

c = π r

c = π r2


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.


5

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

84% Answer Correctly

Last

Inside

First

Odd


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.
