If the area of this square is 25, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) = 5

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 = 52 + 52
c2 = 50
c = \( \sqrt{50} \) = \( \sqrt{25 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 5\( \sqrt{2} \)


2

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π r2

a = π d

a = π d2


Solution

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.


3

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

76% Answer Correctly

equation

problem

formula

expression


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.


4

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

rhombus

trapezoid

quadrilateral

triangle


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


5

Simplify (8a)(3ab) - (9a2)(6b).

62% Answer Correctly
-30a2b
165ab2
165a2b
78ab2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(8a)(3ab) - (9a2)(6b)
(8 x 3)(a x a x b) - (9 x 6)(a2 x b)
(24)(a1+1 x b) - (54)(a2b)
24a2b - 54a2b
-30a2b
