1

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 - a2

c - a

c2 + a2

a2 - c2


Solution

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, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


2

If the base of this triangle is 8 and the height is 1, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
4
36
71\(\frac{1}{2}\)
31\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 8 x 1 = \( \frac{8}{2} \) = 4


3

Solve -a + 8a = -9a - 5z - 5 for a in terms of z.

35% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{5}{8}\)z - \(\frac{5}{8}\)
-\(\frac{4}{5}\)z - \(\frac{4}{5}\)
1\(\frac{4}{11}\)z + \(\frac{8}{11}\)
\(\frac{1}{4}\)z - \(\frac{1}{4}\)

Solution

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

-a + 8z = -9a - 5z - 5
-a = -9a - 5z - 5 - 8z
-a + 9a = -5z - 5 - 8z
8a = -13z - 5
a = \( \frac{-13z - 5}{8} \)
a = \( \frac{-13z}{8} \) + \( \frac{-5}{8} \)
a = -1\(\frac{5}{8}\)z - \(\frac{5}{8}\)


4

What is 8a8 + 5a8?

76% Answer Correctly
13a16
40a16
13a8
a816

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.

8a8 + 5a8 = 13a8


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 2 and radius (r) = 2. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
70π
126π
16π
192π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(22) + 2π(2 x 2)
sa = 2π(4) + 2π(4)
sa = (2 x 4)π + (2 x 4)π
sa = 8π + 8π
sa = 16π
