1

If side a = 7, side b = 3, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{58} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{68} \)
\( \sqrt{90} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 72 + 32
c2 = 49 + 9
c2 = 58
c = \( \sqrt{58} \)


2

If side x = 8cm, side y = 5cm, and side z = 13cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
34cm
26cm
22cm
38cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 8cm + 5cm + 13cm = 26cm


3

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

49% Answer Correctly

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


4

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 4, b = 4, c = 7, d = 2, and h = 3. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
9
22
14
30

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(4 + 2)(3)
a = ½(6)(3)
a = ½(18) = \( \frac{18}{2} \)
a = 9


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 5, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 2. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
146
318
132
152

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 9 x 2) + (2 x 2 x 5) + (2 x 9 x 5)
sa = (36) + (20) + (90)
sa = 146
