1

If side a = 2, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{29} \)
\( \sqrt{68} \)
\( \sqrt{40} \)
\( \sqrt{130} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 22 + 82
c2 = 4 + 64
c2 = 68
c = \( \sqrt{68} \)


2

If c = -3 and z = 5, what is the value of -6c(c - z)?

68% Answer Correctly
-144
-40
32
0

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.)

-6c(c - z)
-6(-3)(-3 - 5)
-6(-3)(-8)
(18)(-8)
-144


3

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

54% Answer Correctly

π r2h2

π r2h

2(π r2) + 2π rh

4π r2


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


4

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

quadrilateral

trapezoid

triangle

rhombus


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


5

If the base of this triangle is 5 and the height is 3, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
7\(\frac{1}{2}\)
42
72
30

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 5 x 3 = \( \frac{15}{2} \) = 7\(\frac{1}{2}\)
