1

If the area of this square is 1, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{1} \) = 1

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 = 12 + 12
c2 = 2
c = \( \sqrt{2} \)


2

If BD = 12 and AD = 18, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
14
6
18
11

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 18 - 12
AB = 6


3

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 2?

69% Answer Correctly
64π
81π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π

Simplify (8a)(7ab) - (4a2)(5b).

59% Answer Correctly
36a2b
-36ab2
135a2b
135ab2

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.

(8a)(7ab) - (4a2)(5b)
(8 x 7)(a x a x b) - (4 x 5)(a2 x b)
(56)(a1+1 x b) - (20)(a2b)
56a2b - 20a2b
36a2b


5

If angle a = 59° and angle b = 56° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
89°
65°
94°
100°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 59° - 56° = 65°
