If the area of this square is 1, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
| \( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 7\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 6\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 8\( \sqrt{2} \) |
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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{1} \) = 1
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 = 12 + 12
c2 = 2
c = \( \sqrt{2} \)
On this circle, line segment AB is the:
circumference |
|
chord |
|
diameter |
|
radius |
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).
Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?
y-intercept |
|
slope |
|
\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\) |
|
x-intercept |
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.
Find the value of b:
-9b + y = -7
-4b - 2y = -1
| \(\frac{15}{22}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{9}{20}\) |
You need to find the value of b so solve the first equation in terms of y:
-9b + y = -7
y = -7 + 9b
then substitute the result (-7 - -9b) into the second equation:
-4b - 2(-7 + 9b) = -1
-4b + (-2 x -7) + (-2 x 9b) = -1
-4b + 14 - 18b = -1
-4b - 18b = -1 - 14
-22b = -15
b = \( \frac{-15}{-22} \)
b = \(\frac{15}{22}\)
Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?
a parallelogram is a quadrilateral |
|
the area of a parallelogram is base x height |
|
the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides |
|
opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal |
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
