1

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

47% Answer Correctly

c2 + a2

c2 - a2

c - a

a2 - c2


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, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


2

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 8. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
49
192
84
36

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 6 x 4 x 8
v = 192


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 9) and (2, -1). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-1
1
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 9) and (2, -1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-1.0) - (9.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-10}{4} \)
m = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

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

88% Answer Correctly

addition

division

exponents

pairs


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.)


5

If angle a = 25° and angle b = 24° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
114°
155°
141°
145°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 25° - 24° = 131°

So, d° = 24° + 131° = 155°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 25° = 155°
