If the area of this square is 64, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

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

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) = 8

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 = 82 + 82
c2 = 128
c = \( \sqrt{128} \) = \( \sqrt{64 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 8\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solve for y:
8y - 5 = -8 - 4y

60% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{2}{7}\)
\(\frac{8}{9}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{5}\)
-\(\frac{1}{4}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

8y - 5 = -8 - 4y
8y = -8 - 4y + 5
8y + 4y = -8 + 5
12y = -3
y = \( \frac{-3}{12} \)
y = -\(\frac{1}{4}\)

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

68% Answer Correctly

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w

lw x wh + lh


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


4

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

71% Answer Correctly

chord

diameter

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).


5

If a = c = 4, b = d = 1, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
12
4
30
36

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 4 x 1
a = 4
