1

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

47% Answer Correctly

c - a

c2 - a2

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

Find the value of a:
5a + z = -3
6a + 7z = 4

42% Answer Correctly
-3\(\frac{3}{14}\)
-\(\frac{28}{29}\)
-\(\frac{3}{5}\)
-\(\frac{25}{29}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of z:

5a + z = -3
z = -3 - 5a

then substitute the result (-3 - 5a) into the second equation:

6a + 7(-3 - 5a) = 4
6a + (7 x -3) + (7 x -5a) = 4
6a - 21 - 35a = 4
6a - 35a = 4 + 21
-29a = 25
a = \( \frac{25}{-29} \)
a = -\(\frac{25}{29}\)


3

If a = c = 4, b = d = 1, and the blue angle = 78°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
48
8
5
4

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 4 x 1
a = 4


4

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

acute, obtuse

obtuse, acute

supplementary, vertical


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


5

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

binomial

quadratic

polynomial

monomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.
