1

If side a = 1, side b = 9, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{65} \)
10
\( \sqrt{20} \)
\( \sqrt{82} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 12 + 92
c2 = 1 + 81
c2 = 82
c = \( \sqrt{82} \)


2

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

51% Answer Correctly

rhombus

quadrilateral

triangle

trapezoid


Solution

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


3

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

monomial

quadratic

binomial

polynomial


Solution

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


4

If angle a = 55° and angle b = 28° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
134°
124°
156°
125°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 55° - 28° = 97°

So, d° = 28° + 97° = 125°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 55° = 125°


5

Solve for x:
2x + 1 < -7 - x

55% Answer Correctly
x < 3
x < 1\(\frac{1}{6}\)
x < -2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
x < \(\frac{3}{8}\)

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.

2x + 1 < -7 - x
2x < -7 - x - 1
2x + x < -7 - 1
3x < -8
x < \( \frac{-8}{3} \)
x < -2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
