1

If side a = 9, side b = 6, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{117} \)
\( \sqrt{106} \)
\( \sqrt{61} \)
\( \sqrt{37} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 62
c2 = 81 + 36
c2 = 117
c = \( \sqrt{117} \)


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 5) and (2, -1). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-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, 5) and (2, -1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-1.0) - (5.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-6}{4} \)
m = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


3

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 19?

71% Answer Correctly
18π
15π
19π
10π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 19π


4

Solve -4c - 6c = -5c + 8z + 5 for c in terms of z.

34% Answer Correctly
14z + 5
-1\(\frac{1}{3}\)z + \(\frac{1}{3}\)
-3\(\frac{1}{4}\)z + 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
z - 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-4c - 6z = -5c + 8z + 5
-4c = -5c + 8z + 5 + 6z
-4c + 5c = 8z + 5 + 6z
c = 14z + 5


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 6. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
80π
324π
63π
72π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(62 x 9)
v = 324π
