If the area of this square is 4, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

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

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{4} \) = 2

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 = 22 + 22
c2 = 8
c = \( \sqrt{8} \) = \( \sqrt{4 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{4} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 2\( \sqrt{2} \)


2

If side x = 5cm, side y = 5cm, and side z = 9cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
22cm
19cm
25cm
33cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 5cm + 5cm + 9cm = 19cm


3

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

60% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse

obtuse, acute

supplementary, vertical

vertical, supplementary


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).


4

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 7?

71% Answer Correctly
13π
14π

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 * 7)
c = 14π


5

Solve for y:
7y + 1 > \( \frac{y}{-5} \)

44% Answer Correctly
y > -\(\frac{5}{36}\)
y > \(\frac{9}{13}\)
y > -\(\frac{6}{31}\)
y > 2\(\frac{2}{3}\)

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 > sign and the answer on the other.

7y + 1 > \( \frac{y}{-5} \)
-5 x (7y + 1) > y
(-5 x 7y) + (-5 x 1) > y
-35y - 5 > y
-35y - 5 - y > 0
-35y - y > 5
-36y > 5
y > \( \frac{5}{-36} \)
y > -\(\frac{5}{36}\)
