For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c - a

c2 + a2

c2 - a2

a2 - c2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


2

If BD = 23 and AD = 26, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
10
15
3
16

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 26 - 23
AB = 3


3

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

52% Answer Correctly

4π r2

π r2h

π r2h2

2(π r2) + 2π rh


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.


4

Simplify (7a)(2ab) + (2a2)(9b).

65% Answer Correctly
32a2b
99ab2
99a2b
32ab2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(7a)(2ab) + (2a2)(9b)
(7 x 2)(a x a x b) + (2 x 9)(a2 x b)
(14)(a1+1 x b) + (18)(a2b)
14a2b + 18a2b
32a2b


5

If angle a = 52° and angle b = 41° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
150°
157°
128°
122°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 52° - 41° = 87°

So, d° = 41° + 87° = 128°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 52° = 128°
