If the area of this square is 4, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

69% Answer Correctly
7\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{4} \) = 2

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 = 22 + 22
c2 = 8
c = \( \sqrt{8} \) = \( \sqrt{4 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{4} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 2\( \sqrt{2} \)

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 9. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
306π
252π
168π
36π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(92) + 2π(9 x 5)
sa = 2π(81) + 2π(45)
sa = (2 x 81)π + (2 x 45)π
sa = 162π + 90π
sa = 252π


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 9, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 2. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
150
48
162
126

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 9 x 9 x 2
v = 162
