If the area of this square is 81, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
| 2\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 7\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 9\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 4\( \sqrt{2} \) |
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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{81} \) = 9
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 = 92 + 92
c2 = 162
c = \( \sqrt{162} \) = \( \sqrt{81 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{81} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?
a = π r2 |
|
a = π d2 |
|
a = π d |
|
a = π r |
The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.
Simplify (y - 4)(y + 5)
| y2 + 9y + 20 | |
| y2 - 9y + 20 | |
| y2 - y - 20 | |
| y2 + y - 20 |
To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:
(y - 4)(y + 5)
(y x y) + (y x 5) + (-4 x y) + (-4 x 5)
y2 + 5y - 4y - 20
y2 + y - 20
What is the area of a circle with a radius of 2?
| 7π | |
| 4π | |
| 81π | |
| 2π |
The formula for area is πr2:
a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π
On this circle, line segment AB is the:
radius |
|
circumference |
|
diameter |
|
chord |
A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
