1

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


2

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

68% Answer Correctly
9\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{2} \)

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

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, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


4

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 6, c = 7, d = 5, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
15
10\(\frac{1}{2}\)
22
13\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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(6 + 5)(4)
a = ½(11)(4)
a = ½(44) = \( \frac{44}{2} \)
a = 22


5

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

all interior angles are right angles

the lengths of all sides are equal

the area is length x width

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
