Example Questions
Example Question #1 : How To Find Length Of A Line
If a circle has a radius of 12 inches, the biggest line that would be drawn within the circle is:
The largest line that can be drawn within a circle is the diamater. The diameter is equal to twice the radius. Given that the radius is equal to 12 inches, the largest line that could be drawn (the diameter) would be equal to 24 inches.
Example Question #4 : How To Find Length Of A Line
If you stand on a giant number line at point , what is your distance from point
?
The distance on a number line is the number of whole number places between two numbers. When you are going from a negative value to a positive one or vice versa, you must find the distance from that both points are then add them together.
is
spaces away from
and
is
spaces away. To find the distance you then add your two values of
and
to get
.
Example Question #71 : Geometry
One of the legs on a right triangle has a measurement of and the other leg has a measurement of
What is the length of the hypotenuse?
The Pythagorean Theorem states:
where
represents the hypotenuse and
and
represent the measurements of the legs of the right triangle.
Example Question #6 : How To Find Length Of A Line
A right triangle has one leg with a length of and a hypotenuse of
. What is the approximate measurement of the missing length?
The Pythagorean Theorem states that
Where and
are the measurements of each leg and
is the hypotenuse.
Example Question #71 : Plane Geometry
The coordinates of on the rectangle are
and
. Find the length of the diagonal.
A rectangle has two diagonals with the same length. Therefore, use the distance formula to calculate the distance.
Example Question #81 : Geometry
If a circle has a radius of , what would be the length of the longest line drawn within that circle?
The diameter of the circle would be the longest line that can be drawn within that circle.
Because radius is half of the diameter, the diameter is calculated by multiplying the radius of the circle by two.
If the radius is , then the diameter is
Example Question #12 : How To Find Length Of A Line
A ladder is leaning on a wall. It is ft long. The bottom of the ladder is
from the base. How far up the wall is the top of the ladder?
The Pythagorean Theorem states that:
With and
representing the measurement of the legs and
representing the hypotenuse.
Example Question #13 : How To Find Length Of A Line
What is the perimeter of a right triangle if the hypotenuse is and the measurement of one of its legs is
First, use the Pythagorean Theorem to get the measurement of the other leg.
To get the perimeter of the triangle, add the measurements of each of the three sides.
Example Question #14 : How To Find Length Of A Line
A line has endpoints and
What is the distance of the line?
Use the distance formula
Example Question #15 : How To Find Length Of A Line
Line has a length of
It is bisected at point
, and the resulting segment
is bisected again at point
What is the length of line segment
First, write each portion of the statement in mathematical terms.
Since AB=80 we will substitute that into the equation.
Now that we know AC we can calculate AD as follows.
