On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% 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).

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

68% Answer Correctly
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
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

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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π r2

a = π d2

a = π d


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

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

2

3

5

4


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


5

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 6, b = 9, c = 9, d = 9, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
18
36
10\(\frac{1}{2}\)
8

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(9 + 9)(4)
a = ½(18)(4)
a = ½(72) = \( \frac{72}{2} \)
a = 36
