1

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 - a2

c - a

c2 + a2

a2 - c2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 8. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
120π
192π
140π
16π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(82) + 2π(8 x 4)
sa = 2π(64) + 2π(32)
sa = (2 x 64)π + (2 x 32)π
sa = 128π + 64π
sa = 192π


3

If angle a = 26° and angle b = 25° what is the length of angle c?

70% Answer Correctly
89°
85°
129°
84°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 26° - 25° = 129°


4

Solve for c:
-7c + 6 < \( \frac{c}{9} \)

44% Answer Correctly
c < -\(\frac{3}{10}\)
c < 4\(\frac{1}{5}\)
c < -\(\frac{25}{29}\)
c < \(\frac{27}{32}\)

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 < sign and the answer on the other.

-7c + 6 < \( \frac{c}{9} \)
9 x (-7c + 6) < c
(9 x -7c) + (9 x 6) < c
-63c + 54 < c
-63c + 54 - c < 0
-63c - c < -54
-64c < -54
c < \( \frac{-54}{-64} \)
c < \(\frac{27}{32}\)


5

If a = c = 7, b = d = 8, and the blue angle = 64°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
27
56
20
12

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 7 x 8
a = 56
