Question 3

Given the right triangle shown, which equation correctly represents the Pythagorean Theorem?

Accepted Answer

$$a^2$$ + $$b^2$$ = $$c^2$$

Question 4

A 50-inch TV has a height of 24.5 inches. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, what is the width of the TV (to the nearest tenth)?

Accepted Answer

$$\sqrt{50^2$ - 24.5^2$} \approx 44.6$$ inches

Question 5

Which formula is used to calculate the distance between two points $$(x_1$, y_1$)$$ and $$(x_2$, y_2$) in $$the plane?

Accepted Answer

$$\sqrt{(x_2$ - x_1$)^2$$ + ($$y_2$$ - $$y_1)^2$}$$

Question 6

Calculate the distance between the points $$(-1, 1)$$ and $$(-6, 5)$$ using the distance formula. Round to the nearest whole number.

Accepted Answer

$$\sqrt{(-6 + 1)^2$ + (5 - 1)^2$} = \sqrt{25 + 16} = \sqrt{41} \approx 6$$

Question 7

Which formula is used to find the midpoint between two points $$(x_1$, y_1$)$$ and $$(x_2$, y_2$)$$?

Accepted Answer

$$\left( \frac{x_1$ + x_2$}{2}, \frac{y_1$ + y_2$}{2} \right)$$

Accepted Answer

$$(23.45, 1991)$$

Question 9

Which of the following best describes the x-axis in the Cartesian coordinate system?

Accepted Answer

It is the horizontal axis where $$y = 0.$$

Question 10

Accepted Answer

$$(7, 11)$$

Question 13

Which of the following is NOT a correct use of the distance formula?

Accepted Answer

Finding the midpoint between two points.

Question 14

If a right triangle has legs of length 9 and 12, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Accepted Answer

$$\sqrt{9^2$ + 12^2$} = \sqrt{81 + 144} = \sqrt{225} = 15$$
