If the area of this square is 4, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

69% Answer Correctly
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
6\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{4} \) = 2

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 = 22 + 22
c2 = 8
c = \( \sqrt{8} \) = \( \sqrt{4 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{4} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 2\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solve for a:
-7a - 7 < -1 + 3a

55% Answer Correctly
a < -1
a < \(\frac{1}{2}\)
a < -\(\frac{3}{5}\)
a < 1

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

-7a - 7 < -1 + 3a
-7a < -1 + 3a + 7
-7a - 3a < -1 + 7
-10a < 6
a < \( \frac{6}{-10} \)
a < -\(\frac{3}{5}\)


3

Solve 6c + 7c = 5c + 3z - 6 for c in terms of z.

35% Answer Correctly
-4z - 6
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)z + 2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
2\(\frac{1}{5}\)z - \(\frac{2}{5}\)
1\(\frac{2}{3}\)z - 2\(\frac{2}{3}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

6c + 7z = 5c + 3z - 6
6c = 5c + 3z - 6 - 7z
6c - 5c = 3z - 6 - 7z
c = -4z - 6

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

radius

diameter

chord

circumference


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).


5

If a = c = 9, b = d = 6, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
40
20
54
63

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 9 x 6
a = 54
