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

68% Answer Correctly
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)

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 dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 4, b = 7, c = 6, d = 5, and h = 2. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
12
18
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)
9

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(7 + 5)(2)
a = ½(12)(2)
a = ½(24) = \( \frac{24}{2} \)
a = 12


3

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

75% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute


Solution

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


4

Solve for z:
z - 7 < \( \frac{z}{5} \)

44% Answer Correctly
z < 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
z < 8\(\frac{3}{4}\)
z < \(\frac{8}{9}\)
z < 1\(\frac{7}{23}\)

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.

z - 7 < \( \frac{z}{5} \)
5 x (z - 7) < z
(5 x z) + (5 x -7) < z
5z - 35 < z
5z - 35 - z < 0
5z - z < 35
4z < 35
z < \( \frac{35}{4} \)
z < 8\(\frac{3}{4}\)

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

diameter

circumference

radius

chord


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
