1

If side a = 6, side b = 2, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{73} \)
\( \sqrt{40} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{50} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 62 + 22
c2 = 36 + 4
c2 = 40
c = \( \sqrt{40} \)


2

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

diameter

chord

circumference

radius


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


3

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π d2

a = π d

a = π r

a = π r2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 5. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
80π
90π
30π
196π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(52) + 2π(5 x 4)
sa = 2π(25) + 2π(20)
sa = (2 x 25)π + (2 x 20)π
sa = 50π + 40π
sa = 90π


5

If side x = 7cm, side y = 5cm, and side z = 8cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
28cm
22cm
20cm
29cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 7cm + 5cm + 8cm = 20cm
