If the area of this square is 1, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
6\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{1} \) = 1

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 = 12 + 12
c2 = 2
c = \( \sqrt{2} \)


2

Simplify (2a)(6ab) - (2a2)(2b).

59% Answer Correctly
8a2b
32a2b
16ab2
16a2b

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.

(2a)(6ab) - (2a2)(2b)
(2 x 6)(a x a x b) - (2 x 2)(a2 x b)
(12)(a1+1 x b) - (4)(a2b)
12a2b - 4a2b
8a2b


3

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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π d2

a = π d

a = π r

a = π r2


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.


4

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

81% Answer Correctly

binomial

quadratic

polynomial

monomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


5

What is 7a3 - 4a3?

73% Answer Correctly
11a6
11
3a3
3a6

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.

7a3 - 4a3 = 3a3
