1

If side a = 2, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{41} \)
\( \sqrt{145} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{53} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 22 + 72
c2 = 4 + 49
c2 = 53
c = \( \sqrt{53} \)


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -7) and (2, 1). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-2
2
-1
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -7) and (2, 1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(1.0) - (-7.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2


3

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

polynomial

binomial

monomial

quadratic


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


4

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

68% Answer Correctly

lw x wh + lh

h x l x w

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h2 x l2 x w2


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


5

What is 9a + 9a?

81% Answer Correctly
a2
0
2
18a

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

9a + 9a = 18a
