On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

chord

radius

diameter


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).


2

If side a = 2, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{13} \)
\( \sqrt{68} \)
\( \sqrt{74} \)
\( \sqrt{20} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 22 + 82
c2 = 4 + 64
c2 = 68
c = \( \sqrt{68} \)


3

If angle a = 52° and angle b = 63° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
151°
128°
112°
155°

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° - 52° - 63° = 65°

So, d° = 63° + 65° = 128°

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° - 52° = 128°


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 1, length (l) = 6, and width (w) = 3. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
54
112
88
38

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 6 x 3) + (2 x 3 x 1) + (2 x 6 x 1)
sa = (36) + (6) + (12)
sa = 54


5

If a = c = 2, b = d = 7, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
7
14
4
5

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 2 x 7
a = 14
