1

If side a = 7, side b = 2, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{53} \)
\( \sqrt{52} \)
\( \sqrt{130} \)
\( \sqrt{90} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 72 + 22
c2 = 49 + 4
c2 = 53
c = \( \sqrt{53} \)


2

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

parallel

equal length

right angle

equal angle


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


3

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

87% Answer Correctly

pairs

exponents

division

addition


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


4

If b = -1 and y = -8, what is the value of 7b(b - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
144
-49
-180
612

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

7b(b - y)
7(-1)(-1 + 8)
7(-1)(7)
(-7)(7)
-49


5

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π d

a = π r

a = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.
