If the area of this square is 25, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) = 5

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 = 52 + 52
c2 = 50
c = \( \sqrt{50} \) = \( \sqrt{25 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 5\( \sqrt{2} \)


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 1. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
20π
12π
180π
288π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(12) + 2π(1 x 9)
sa = 2π(1) + 2π(9)
sa = (2 x 1)π + (2 x 9)π
sa = 2π + 18π
sa = 20π


3

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 15?

71% Answer Correctly
16π
20π
30π
12π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 15)
c = 30π


4

Solve for c:
4c - 9 < \( \frac{c}{1} \)

44% Answer Correctly
c < -\(\frac{9}{62}\)
c < 10
c < 3
c < -4\(\frac{4}{17}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

4c - 9 < \( \frac{c}{1} \)
1 x (4c - 9) < c
(1 x 4c) + (1 x -9) < c
4c - 9 < c
4c - 9 - c < 0
4c - c < 9
3c < 9
c < \( \frac{9}{3} \)
c < 3


5

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

chord

diameter

radius


Solution

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).
