A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.
triangle |
|
trapezoid |
|
quadrilateral |
|
rhombus |
A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.
Solve for z:
z2 - 10z + 23 = -z + 3
| 4 or 5 | |
| 6 or -2 | |
| 6 or -1 | |
| 8 or 3 |
The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:
z2 - 10z + 23 = -z + 3
z2 - 10z + 23 - 3 = -z
z2 - 10z + z + 20 = 0
z2 - 9z + 20 = 0
Next, factor the quadratic equation:
z2 - 9z + 20 = 0
(z - 4)(z - 5) = 0
For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z - 4) or (z - 5) must equal zero:
If (z - 4) = 0, z must equal 4
If (z - 5) = 0, z must equal 5
So the solution is that z = 4 or 5
What is the area of a circle with a radius of 3?
| 6π | |
| 8π | |
| 5π | |
| 9π |
The formula for area is πr2:
a = πr2
a = π(32)
a = 9π
If the area of this square is 64, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
| 8\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 2\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 3\( \sqrt{2} \) |
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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) = 8
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 = 82 + 82
c2 = 128
c = \( \sqrt{128} \) = \( \sqrt{64 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 8\( \sqrt{2} \)
If angle a = 29° and angle b = 61° what is the length of angle d?
| 129° | |
| 120° | |
| 115° | |
| 151° |
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° - 29° - 61° = 90°
So, d° = 61° + 90° = 151°
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° - 29° = 151°
