A triangle has vertices (0,0), (4,0), and (0,3). What is its area?
Answer: 6
Area=(1/2)*base*height=(1/2)(4)(3)=6.
What is the sum of the interior angles of a hexagon?
Answer: 720
The sum is (n-2)*180=(6-2)*180=720 degrees.
A cylinder has radius 3 and height 4. What is its volume?
Answer: 36pi
V=pi*r^2*h=pi(9)(4)=36pi.
In a circle with radius 5, a chord is 8 units long. What is the distance from the center to the chord?
Answer: 3
Half the chord is 4; distance=sqrt(25-16)=3.
Isosceles triangle ABC has AB=AC=10 and BC=12. What is its area?
Answer: 48
The altitude from A to BC is h=sqrt(100-36)=8; Area=(1/2)(12)(8)=48.
The ratio of areas of two similar triangles is 4:9. What is the ratio of their perimeters?
Answer: 2:3
The ratio of lengths is sqrt(4/9)=2/3, so perimeters are in ratio 2:3.
