1

If side a = 5, side b = 4, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{113} \)
\( \sqrt{41} \)
\( \sqrt{73} \)
\( \sqrt{97} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 52 + 42
c2 = 25 + 16
c2 = 41
c = \( \sqrt{41} \)


2

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

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

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\( \sqrt{2} \)


3

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 4?

70% Answer Correctly
81π
16π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(42)
a = 16π


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 1. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
486π
18π
50π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(12 x 8)
v = 8π


5

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

65% Answer Correctly
36a2b
121ab2
36ab2
b2

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.

(9a)(2ab) + (2a2)(9b)
(9 x 2)(a x a x b) + (2 x 9)(a2 x b)
(18)(a1+1 x b) + (18)(a2b)
18a2b + 18a2b
36a2b
