If the area of this square is 16, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{16} \) = 4

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 = 42 + 42
c2 = 32
c = \( \sqrt{32} \) = \( \sqrt{16 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{16} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 4\( \sqrt{2} \)

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 8, length (l) = 5, and width (w) = 5. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
200

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 8 x 5 x 5
v = 200


3

Find the value of b:
b + x = 7
-b + 6x = -4

42% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{7}{29}\)
-4\(\frac{1}{7}\)
\(\frac{42}{47}\)
6\(\frac{4}{7}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of b so solve the first equation in terms of x:

b + x = 7
x = 7 - b

then substitute the result (7 - 1b) into the second equation:

-b + 6(7 - b) = -4
-b + (6 x 7) + (6 x -b) = -4
-b + 42 - 6b = -4
-b - 6b = -4 - 42
-7b = -46
b = \( \frac{-46}{-7} \)
b = 6\(\frac{4}{7}\)


4

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

quadrilateral

rhombus

triangle

trapezoid


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


5

If a = c = 5, b = d = 2, and the blue angle = 70°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
18
10
27
81

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 2
a = 10
