If the area of this square is 25, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) = 5

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 = 52 + 52
c2 = 50
c = \( \sqrt{50} \) = \( \sqrt{25 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 5\( \sqrt{2} \)


2

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 8, and width (w) = 4. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
32
192
90
4

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 6 x 8 x 4
v = 192


3

If angle a = 26° and angle b = 22° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
85°
88°
96°
132°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 26° - 22° = 132°


4

If c = 1 and x = -1, what is the value of -c(c - x)?

68% Answer Correctly
450
1071
-2
-180

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.)

-c(c - x)
-1(1)(1 + 1)
-1(1)(2)
(-1)(2)
-2


5

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

π r2h2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

4π r2

π r2h


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.
