1

If side a = 4, side b = 3, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
5
\( \sqrt{37} \)
\( \sqrt{34} \)
\( \sqrt{32} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 32
c2 = 16 + 9
c2 = 25
c = \( \sqrt{25} \)
c = 5


2

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

55% Answer Correctly

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral 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

Simplify (y - 9)(y + 7)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 + 2y - 63
y2 - 2y - 63
y2 + 16y + 63
y2 - 16y + 63

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y - 9)(y + 7)
(y x y) + (y x 7) + (-9 x y) + (-9 x 7)
y2 + 7y - 9y - 63
y2 - 2y - 63


4

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

71% Answer Correctly

right angle

parallel

equal length

equal angle


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


5

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

76% Answer Correctly

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.
