1

If side a = 9, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{145} \)
\( \sqrt{68} \)
\( \sqrt{74} \)

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 + 82
c2 = 81 + 64
c2 = 145
c = \( \sqrt{145} \)


2

If a = 1, b = 4, c = 2, and d = 7, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
18
22
14
21

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 1 + 4 + 2 + 7
p = 14


3

Solve for z:
-4z - 5 = 2 + 4z

60% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{5}{8}\)
-\(\frac{7}{8}\)
1\(\frac{1}{7}\)

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.

-4z - 5 = 2 + 4z
-4z = 2 + 4z + 5
-4z - 4z = 2 + 5
-8z = 7
z = \( \frac{7}{-8} \)
z = -\(\frac{7}{8}\)


4

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

diameter

radius

chord


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


5

If b = -8 and x = 9, what is the value of 3b(b - x)?

69% Answer Correctly
280
-616
408
-624

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

3b(b - x)
3(-8)(-8 - 9)
3(-8)(-17)
(-24)(-17)
