1

If side a = 1, side b = 4, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{17} \)
\( \sqrt{80} \)
\( \sqrt{20} \)
\( \sqrt{13} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 12 + 42
c2 = 1 + 16
c2 = 17
c = \( \sqrt{17} \)


2

Simplify (8a)(6ab) + (6a2)(2b).

65% Answer Correctly
36ab2
60a2b
112ab2
112a2b

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)(6ab) + (6a2)(2b)
(8 x 6)(a x a x b) + (6 x 2)(a2 x b)
(48)(a1+1 x b) + (12)(a2b)
48a2b + 12a2b
60a2b


3

Solve for c:
4c - 1 = \( \frac{c}{-4} \)

46% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{72}{73}\)
\(\frac{4}{15}\)
\(\frac{4}{17}\)
-1\(\frac{11}{13}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, 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.

4c - 1 = \( \frac{c}{-4} \)
-4 x (4c - 1) = c
(-4 x 4c) + (-4 x -1) = c
-16c + 4 = c
-16c + 4 - c = 0
-16c - c = -4
-17c = -4
c = \( \frac{-4}{-17} \)
c = \(\frac{4}{17}\)


4

If angle a = 51° and angle b = 49° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
113°
128°
130°
129°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 51° - 49° = 80°

So, d° = 49° + 80° = 129°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 51° = 129°


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 8. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
48π
324π
64π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(82 x 1)
v = 64π
