If the area of this square is 16, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{16} \) = 4

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 = 42 + 42
c2 = 32
c = \( \sqrt{32} \) = \( \sqrt{16 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{16} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 4\( \sqrt{2} \)


2

If side x = 5cm, side y = 8cm, and side z = 14cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
39cm
33cm
27cm
31cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 5cm + 8cm + 14cm = 27cm


3

If a = 9, b = 3, c = 7, and d = 7, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
12
16
26
20

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 9 + 3 + 7 + 7
p = 26


4

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

polynomial

monomial

binomial

quadratic


Solution

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


5

If angle a = 26° and angle b = 32° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
122°
54°
110°
68°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 26° - 32° = 122°
