1

If side a = 7, side b = 6, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{10} \)
10
\( \sqrt{85} \)
\( \sqrt{97} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 72 + 62
c2 = 49 + 36
c2 = 85
c = \( \sqrt{85} \)


2

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the lengths of all sides are equal

the area is length x width

all interior angles are right angles


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


3

If a = 9 and x = -6, what is the value of -a(a - x)?

68% Answer Correctly
-8
512
-135
1296

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.)

-a(a - x)
-1(9)(9 + 6)
-1(9)(15)
(-9)(15)
-135


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 1. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
252π
576π
448π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(12 x 4)
v = 4π


5

If side x = 13cm, side y = 13cm, and side z = 5cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
31cm
39cm
30cm
33cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 13cm + 13cm + 5cm = 31cm
