If the area of this square is 49, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
| 6\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 3\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 7\( \sqrt{2} \) |
To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:
a = s2
so the length of one side of the square is:
s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{49} \) = 7
The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:
c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 72 + 72
c2 = 98
c = \( \sqrt{98} \) = \( \sqrt{49 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{49} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
If side x = 6cm, side y = 10cm, and side z = 15cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?
| 31cm | |
| 26cm | |
| 25cm | |
| 27cm |
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:
p = x + y + z
p = 6cm + 10cm + 15cm = 31cm
Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?
\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\) |
|
x-intercept |
|
y-intercept |
|
slope |
A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.

Simplify (6a)(5ab) - (8a2)(4b).

| -2a2b |
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.
(6a)(5ab) - (8a2)(4b)
(6 x 5)(a x a x b) - (8 x 4)(a2 x b)
(30)(a1+1 x b) - (32)(a2b)
30a2b - 32a2b
-2a2b
