1

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

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{41} \)
\( \sqrt{74} \)
\( \sqrt{117} \)
\( \sqrt{113} \)

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

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 3?

71% Answer Correctly
24π
38π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 3)
c = 6π


3

Solve for x:
-4x - 2 = 8 + 5x

59% Answer Correctly
1
1\(\frac{3}{4}\)
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{9}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

-4x - 2 = 8 + 5x
-4x = 8 + 5x + 2
-4x - 5x = 8 + 2
-9x = 10
x = \( \frac{10}{-9} \)
x = -1\(\frac{1}{9}\)


4

What is 4a4 + 4a4?

75% Answer Correctly
16a8
0
16a4
8a4

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

4a4 + 4a4 = 8a4


5

If a = 1, b = 9, c = 6, and d = 3, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
21
14
19
18

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 1 + 9 + 6 + 3
p = 19
