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

68% Answer Correctly
6\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{2} \)
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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) = 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\( \sqrt{2} \)


2

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

78% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π d2

a = π d

a = π r2


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.


3

Solve for c:
5c - 1 < 8 + c

55% Answer Correctly
c < \(\frac{3}{5}\)
c < 2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
c < 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
c < 3

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.

5c - 1 < 8 + c
5c < 8 + c + 1
5c - c < 8 + 1
4c < 9
c < \( \frac{9}{4} \)
c < 2\(\frac{1}{4}\)


4

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

91% Answer Correctly

addition

division

pairs

exponents


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


5

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

2

4

5

3


Solution

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