1

If side a = 5, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{10} \)
\( \sqrt{74} \)
\( \sqrt{53} \)
\( \sqrt{82} \)

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 + 72
c2 = 25 + 49
c2 = 74
c = \( \sqrt{74} \)


2

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

radius

chord

diameter

circumference


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

If the area of this square is 1, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

69% Answer Correctly
7\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{1} \) = 1

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 = 12 + 12
c2 = 2
c = \( \sqrt{2} \)


4

If side x = 8cm, side y = 11cm, and side z = 5cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
31cm
22cm
42cm
24cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 8cm + 11cm + 5cm = 24cm


5

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

72% Answer Correctly

chord

diameter

radius

circumference


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).
