If the area of this square is 64, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
| 9\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 6\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 4\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 8\( \sqrt{2} \) |
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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) = 8
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 = 82 + 82
c2 = 128
c = \( \sqrt{128} \) = \( \sqrt{64 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 8\( \sqrt{2} \)
If a = 2, b = 2, c = 8, and d = 6, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?
| 18 | |
| 23 | |
| 17 | |
| 21 |
Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:
p = a + b + c + d
p = 2 + 2 + 8 + 6
p = 18
Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?
you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents |
|
you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent |
|
you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent |
|
all of these statements are correct |
You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.
If side a = 9, side b = 3, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?
| \( \sqrt{90} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{40} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{97} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{85} \) |
According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:
c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 32
c2 = 81 + 9
c2 = 90
c = \( \sqrt{90} \)
Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?
the area of a parallelogram is base x height |
|
a parallelogram is a quadrilateral |
|
opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal |
|
the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides |
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
