1

If side a = 4, side b = 4, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{52} \)
\( \sqrt{32} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{90} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 42
c2 = 16 + 16
c2 = 32
c = \( \sqrt{32} \)


2

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

90% Answer Correctly

3

2

5

4


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


3

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

a2 - c2

c2 + a2

c2 - a2

c - a


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


4

If a = 2, b = 1, c = 1, and d = 4, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
26
23
24
8

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 2 + 1 + 1 + 4
p = 8


5

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

addition

pairs

exponents

division


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
