1

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

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{41} \)
\( \sqrt{113} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{85} \)

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

If angle a = 41° and angle b = 48° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
154°
111°
115°
139°

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° - 41° - 48° = 91°

So, d° = 48° + 91° = 139°

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° - 41° = 139°


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 7, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 4. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
158
254
212
38

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 9 x 4) + (2 x 4 x 7) + (2 x 9 x 7)
sa = (72) + (56) + (126)
sa = 254


4

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 18?

71% Answer Correctly
36π
26π
19π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 18)
c = 36π


5

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r

c = π d2

c = π d

c = π r2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.
