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:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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 ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem states that

Where  and  are the measurements of each leg and  is the hypotenuse.

Example Question #71 : Plane Geometry

Rec

The coordinates of  on the rectangle are  and . Find the length of the diagonal.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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.
