1

If side a = 7, side b = 5, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{73} \)
\( \sqrt{74} \)
\( \sqrt{26} \)

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 + 52
c2 = 49 + 25
c2 = 74
c = \( \sqrt{74} \)


2

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

acute, obtuse

obtuse, acute

supplementary, vertical


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


3

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

92% Answer Correctly

y-axis

x-axis

origin

all of these


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


4

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d2

c = π r

c = π r2

c = π d


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.


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 9, length (l) = 6, and width (w) = 3. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
198
192
258
78

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 9) + (2 x 6 x 9)
sa = (36) + (54) + (108)
sa = 198
