If the area of this square is 36, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
| 6\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 9\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 4\( \sqrt{2} \) |
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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{36} \) = 6
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 = 62 + 62
c2 = 72
c = \( \sqrt{72} \) = \( \sqrt{36 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{36} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 6\( \sqrt{2} \)
The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 6. What is the volume?
| 16 | |
| 48 | |
| 18 | |
| 144 |
The volume of a cube is height x length x width:
v = h x l x w
v = 6 x 4 x 6
v = 144
This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If x° = 161, what is the value of w°?
| 159 | |
| 24 | |
| 39 | |
| 19 |
For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:
Applying these relationships starting with x° = 161, the value of w° is 19.
Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:
factoring |
|
deconstructing |
|
normalizing |
|
squaring |
To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.
A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:
4π r2 |
|
π r2h |
|
π r2h2 |
|
2(π r2) + 2π rh |
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.
