1

If the base of this triangle is 2 and the height is 6, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
6
38\(\frac{1}{2}\)
40
56

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 2 x 6 = \( \frac{12}{2} \) = 6


2

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

a2 - c2

c2 - a2

c - a

c2 + a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


3

If side a = 4, side b = 6, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{5} \)
\( \sqrt{34} \)
\( \sqrt{52} \)

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 + 62
c2 = 16 + 36
c2 = 52
c = \( \sqrt{52} \)


4

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

50% Answer Correctly

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 3. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
196π
64π
343π
81π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(32 x 9)
v = 81π
