1

If side a = 1, side b = 3, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
5
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{10} \)
\( \sqrt{40} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 12 + 32
c2 = 1 + 9
c2 = 10
c = \( \sqrt{10} \)


2

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 10?

69% Answer Correctly
25π
36π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{10}{2} \)
r = 5
a = πr2
a = π(52)
a = 25π


3

Simplify 3a x 3b.

86% Answer Correctly
9\( \frac{a}{b} \)
9\( \frac{b}{a} \)
9a2b2
9ab

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

3a x 3b = (3 x 3) (a x b) = 9ab


4

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 19?

71% Answer Correctly
13π
10π
20π
19π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 19π


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 0) and (2, 6). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 3x - 3
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3
y = 3x - 2

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 3. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 0) and (2, 6) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(6.0) - (0.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{6}{4} \)
m = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3
