1

If side a = 4, side b = 3, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
5
\( \sqrt{10} \)
\( \sqrt{106} \)
\( \sqrt{145} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 32
c2 = 16 + 9
c2 = 25
c = \( \sqrt{25} \)
c = 5


2

What is 7a9 + 9a9?

75% Answer Correctly
16a18
-2
63a18
16a9

Solution

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.

7a9 + 9a9 = 16a9


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 6 and radius (r) = 8. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
28π
224π
126π
210π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(82) + 2π(8 x 6)
sa = 2π(64) + 2π(48)
sa = (2 x 64)π + (2 x 48)π
sa = 128π + 96π
sa = 224π


4

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


5

74% Answer Correctly

deconstructing

squaring

factoring

normalizing


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.
