1

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

90°

45°

360°

180°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


2

If side a = 8, side b = 4, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{8} \)
\( \sqrt{80} \)
\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{26} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 42
c2 = 64 + 16
c2 = 80
c = \( \sqrt{80} \)


3

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

lw x wh + lh

h x l x w

h2 x l2 x w2

2lw x 2wh + 2lh


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


4

Simplify 2a x 6b.

85% Answer Correctly
8ab
12a2b2
12\( \frac{b}{a} \)
12ab

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.

2a x 6b = (2 x 6) (a x b) = 12ab


5

Find the value of c:
-4c + z = 4
-3c - 4z = 6

42% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{3}{19}\)
\(\frac{22}{29}\)
-2\(\frac{7}{27}\)
\(\frac{67}{74}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of z:

-4c + z = 4
z = 4 + 4c

then substitute the result (4 - -4c) into the second equation:

-3c - 4(4 + 4c) = 6
-3c + (-4 x 4) + (-4 x 4c) = 6
-3c - 16 - 16c = 6
-3c - 16c = 6 + 16
-19c = 22
c = \( \frac{22}{-19} \)
c = -1\(\frac{3}{19}\)
