On this circle, line segment AB is the:

71% Answer Correctly

circumference

chord

radius

diameter


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).

If the area of this square is 64, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
6\( \sqrt{2} \)

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) = 8

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 = 82 + 82
c2 = 128
c = \( \sqrt{128} \) = \( \sqrt{64 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 8\( \sqrt{2} \)


3

If a = c = 2, b = d = 1, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
7
56
6
2

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 2 x 1
a = 2


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 8, and width (w) = 2. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
378
52
152
58

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 8 x 2) + (2 x 2 x 6) + (2 x 8 x 6)
sa = (32) + (24) + (96)
sa = 152


5

Simplify 7a x 6b.

86% Answer Correctly
13ab
42ab
42\( \frac{b}{a} \)
42a2b2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

7a x 6b = (7 x 6) (a x b) = 42ab
