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

47% Answer Correctly

a2 - c2

c - a

c2 + a2

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, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 1. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
162π
245π
252π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(12 x 1)
v = 1π


3

Find the value of b:
4b + z = 4
4b - 5z = 4

42% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{7}{9}\)
2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1

Solution

You need to find the value of b so solve the first equation in terms of z:

4b + z = 4
z = 4 - 4b

then substitute the result (4 - 4b) into the second equation:

4b - 5(4 - 4b) = 4
4b + (-5 x 4) + (-5 x -4b) = 4
4b - 20 + 20b = 4
4b + 20b = 4 + 20
24b = 24
b = \( \frac{24}{24} \)
b = 1

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r

c = π r2

c = π d

c = 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.


5

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 4?

69% Answer Correctly

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{4}{2} \)
r = 2
a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π
