1

If side a = 6, side b = 5, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{61} \)
\( \sqrt{29} \)
\( \sqrt{52} \)
\( \sqrt{82} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 62 + 52
c2 = 36 + 25
c2 = 61
c = \( \sqrt{61} \)


2

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


3

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

83% Answer Correctly
567
96
24
90

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 9 x 7 x 9
v = 567


4

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r2

c = π d2

c = π d

c = π r


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.


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 5. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
384π
196π
225π
162π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(52 x 9)
v = 225π
