A square has side length 6 cm. What is its area after the side length is doubled to 12 cm?
A square paper of side 5 cm is folded inward through the midpoints of its sides to form the smaller square PQRS. What is the area of PQRS?
In an isosceles right triangle, each equal side is 7 cm. What is the length of the hypotenuse?
A right triangle has shorter sides 9 cm and 12 cm. Find the hypotenuse.
Sample Questions
A right triangle has hypotenuse 25 cm and one shorter side 7 cm. What is the other shorter side?
Show answer
24 cm
Step 1: Use a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Step 2: Let the unknown side be x. Step 3: 7^2 + x^2 = 25^2. Step 4: 49 + x^2 = 625. Step 5: x^2 = 625 - 49 = 576. Step 6: x = 24 cm. So the other side is 24 cm.
A right triangle has sides 6 cm and 8 cm as the shorter sides. What is its area?
Show answer
24 sq. cm
Step 1: Area of a right triangle = 1/2 × base × height. Step 2: Use the two shorter sides as base and height. Step 3: Area = 1/2 × 6 × 8 = 24 sq. cm. So the area is 24 sq. cm.
A square on the diagonal of a unit square has area 2 sq. units. What is the length of the diagonal?
Show answer
√2 units
Step 1: The area of the square on the diagonal is c^2. Step 2: Here c^2 = 2. Step 3: So c = √2. The diagonal is √2 units long.
The decimal value of √2 lies between 1.41 and 1.42. Which of these values gives a better lower bound for √2: 1.414 or 1.41?
Show answer
1.414
Step 1: A better lower bound is the one closer to √2 from below. Step 2: 1.414 is closer to 1.41421356... than 1.41. So 1.414 is the better lower bound.
