What is the slope of a horizontal line?
Answer: 0
A horizontal line has no vertical change, so its slope is 0.
A circle has area 49π. What is its radius?
Answer: 7
πr² = 49π means r² = 49, so r = 7.
What is the perimeter of a rectangle with length 9 and width 4?
Answer: 26
Perimeter = 2(9 + 4) = 26.
A 45-45-90 triangle has legs of length 5. What is the hypotenuse?
Answer: 5√2
In a 45-45-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is leg × √2 = 5√2.
The point (k, 2) lies on the line y = 4x − 6. What is k?
Answer: 2
Set 2 = 4k − 6, so 4k = 8 and k = 2.
In a 30-60-90 triangle, the side opposite the 30° angle is 4. What is the hypotenuse?
Answer: 8
The hypotenuse is twice the shortest side, so 2 × 4 = 8.
What is the sum of the interior angles of a pentagon?
Answer: 540°
Sum = (n − 2) × 180° = (5 − 2) × 180° = 540°.
