What is the length of the diagonal of a square with side length 6?
Answer: 6√2
By the Pythagorean theorem: diagonal = √(6² + 6²) = √72 = 6√2.
Angles in a triangle measure x, 2x, and 3x. What is the value of x?
Answer: 30°
x + 2x + 3x = 180°, so 6x = 180°, giving x = 30°.
What is the surface area of a cube with side length 4?
Answer: 96
A cube has 6 faces, each with area 4² = 16, so surface area = 6 × 16 = 96.
Which set of side lengths can form a right triangle?
Answer: 5, 12, 13
5² + 12² = 25 + 144 = 169 = 13², confirming it satisfies the Pythagorean theorem.
Two angles are complementary. One measures 34°. What is the other?
Answer: 56°
Complementary angles sum to 90°, so the other angle is 90° - 34° = 56°.
A trapezoid has parallel sides of 8 and 12 and a height of 5. What is its area?
Answer: 50
Area = (1/2)(b1 + b2) × h = (1/2)(8 + 12) × 5 = (1/2)(20)(5) = 50.
