1

If side a = 6, side b = 5, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{73} \)
\( \sqrt{113} \)
\( \sqrt{61} \)
\( \sqrt{89} \)

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 + 52
c2 = 36 + 25
c2 = 61
c = \( \sqrt{61} \)


2

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

62% Answer Correctly
36π
196π
125π
512π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(82 x 8)
v = 512π


3

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral and isosceles

isosceles and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


4

Factor y2 - 12y + 36

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 6)(y + 6)
(y + 6)(y + 6)
(y - 6)(y - 6)
(y + 6)(y - 6)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce 36 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -12. For this problem, those two numbers are -6 and -6. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 12y + 36
y2 + (-6 - 6)y + (-6 x -6)
(y - 6)(y - 6)


5

If side x = 6cm, side y = 9cm, and side z = 14cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
34cm
29cm
28cm
31cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 6cm + 9cm + 14cm = 29cm
