A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?
origin |
|
all of these |
|
y-axis |
|
x-axis |
The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.
If the area of this square is 49, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
| \( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 3\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 4\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 7\( \sqrt{2} \) |
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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{49} \) = 7
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 = 72 + 72
c2 = 98
c = \( \sqrt{98} \) = \( \sqrt{49 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{49} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
If a = 2, b = 4, c = 1, and d = 6, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?
| 19 | |
| 24 | |
| 21 | |
| 13 |
Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:
p = a + b + c + d
p = 2 + 4 + 1 + 6
p = 13
What is 3a - 3a?
| 0a | |
| 0 | |
| 2 | |
| 6 |
To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.
3a - 3a = 0a
The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 4, length (l) = 8, and width (w) = 4. What is the volume?
| 144 | |
| 32 | |
| 18 | |
| 128 |
The volume of a cube is height x length x width:
v = h x l x w
v = 4 x 8 x 4
v = 128
