1

If side a = 5, side b = 3, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{26} \)
\( \sqrt{10} \)
\( \sqrt{34} \)
\( \sqrt{74} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 52 + 32
c2 = 25 + 9
c2 = 34
c = \( \sqrt{34} \)


2

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 0) and (2, 2). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
3
-2
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-3

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 0) and (2, 2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(2.0) - (0.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{2}{4} \)
m = \(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 4. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
128π
16π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(42 x 1)
v = 16π


5

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

83% Answer Correctly

Inside

First

Last

Odd


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.
