1

If side a = 9, side b = 3, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
5
\( \sqrt{40} \)
\( \sqrt{90} \)
\( \sqrt{117} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 32
c2 = 81 + 9
c2 = 90
c = \( \sqrt{90} \)


2

Simplify 5a x 9b.

86% Answer Correctly
45\( \frac{b}{a} \)
45ab
14ab
45\( \frac{a}{b} \)

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.

5a x 9b = (5 x 9) (a x b) = 45ab


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 7. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
90π
168π
144π
196π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(72) + 2π(7 x 5)
sa = 2π(49) + 2π(35)
sa = (2 x 49)π + (2 x 35)π
sa = 98π + 70π
sa = 168π


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, 10). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
3
-3
1
-2

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, 10) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(10.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{12}{4} \)
m = 3


5

Solve for z:
-9z + 6 > 8 + 9z

55% Answer Correctly
z > -\(\frac{1}{9}\)
z > 3
z > \(\frac{1}{9}\)
z > -\(\frac{1}{3}\)

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 > sign and the answer on the other.

-9z + 6 > 8 + 9z
-9z > 8 + 9z - 6
-9z - 9z > 8 - 6
-18z > 2
z > \( \frac{2}{-18} \)
z > -\(\frac{1}{9}\)
