1

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 - a2

c2 + a2

a2 - c2

c - a


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


2

If a = 7, b = 8, c = 1, and d = 3, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
23
19
20
26

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 7 + 8 + 1 + 3
p = 19


3

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

perimeter = sum of side lengths

sum of interior angles = 180°

area = ½bh

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 6. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
120π
12π
154π
72π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(62) + 2π(6 x 4)
sa = 2π(36) + 2π(24)
sa = (2 x 36)π + (2 x 24)π
sa = 72π + 48π
sa = 120π


5

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 7?

70% Answer Correctly
4π
34π
7π
26π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 7π
