In a right triangle, if the hypotenuse is 10 and one leg is 6, what is the length of the other leg?

  1. 4

  2. 8

  3. 12

  4. 16


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$. Substituting the given values, we get $6^2 + b^2 = 10^2$. Solving for $b$, we get $b = 8$.

What is the area of a circle with radius 5?

  1. 25π

  2. 50π

  3. 75π

  4. 100π


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The area of a circle is given by the formula $A = πr^2$. Substituting the given value, we get $A = π(5)^2 = 25π$.

What is the volume of a cube with side length 4?

  1. 16

  2. 32

  3. 64

  4. 128


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The volume of a cube is given by the formula $V = a^3$. Substituting the given value, we get $V = 4^3 = 64$.

What is the equation of a line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (5, 7)?

  1. y = x + 1

  2. y = 2x + 1

  3. y = 3x - 1

  4. y = 4x + 1


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The equation of a line passing through two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by the formula $y - y_1 = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) * (x - x_1)$. Substituting the given values, we get $y - 3 = (7 - 3)/(5 - 2) * (x - 2)$. Simplifying, we get $y = 2x + 1$.

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation 3x - 2y = 6?

  1. 3/2

  2. 2/3

  3. -3/2

  4. -2/3


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The slope of a line in the form $Ax + By = C$ is given by the formula $m = -A/B$. Substituting the given values, we get $m = -3/-2 = 3/2$.

What is the value of x in the equation 2x^2 - 5x + 3 = 0?

  1. 1/2

  2. 1

  3. 3/2

  4. 2


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

We can solve this equation using the quadratic formula: $x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)$. Substituting the given values, we get $x = (-(-5) ± √((-5)^2 - 4(2)(3)))/(2(2))$. Simplifying, we get $x = (5 ± √(25 - 24))/(4) = (5 ± 1)/(4) = 1/2$ or $x = 2$.

What is the sum of the first 100 positive integers?

  1. 5050

  2. 10100

  3. 15150

  4. 20200


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The sum of the first n positive integers is given by the formula $S = n(n+1)/2$. Substituting $n = 100$, we get $S = 100(101)/2 = 5050$.

What is the probability of getting a head when a fair coin is tossed?

  1. 1/2

  2. 1/3

  3. 1/4

  4. 1/5


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When a fair coin is tossed, there are two possible outcomes: head or tail. Since each outcome is equally likely, the probability of getting a head is 1/2.

What is the area of a triangle with base 10 and height 8?

  1. 40

  2. 50

  3. 60

  4. 70


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by the formula $A = (1/2)bh$. Substituting the given values, we get $A = (1/2)(10)(8) = 40$.

What is the volume of a cylinder with radius 3 and height 5?

  1. 45π

  2. 90π

  3. 135π

  4. 180π


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula $V = πr^2h$. Substituting the given values, we get $V = π(3)^2(5) = 45π$.

What is the equation of a circle with center (2, 3) and radius 5?

  1. (x - 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 25

  2. (x - 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 5

  3. (x + 2)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 25

  4. (x + 2)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 5


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The equation of a circle with center $(h, k)$ and radius $r$ is given by the formula $(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$. Substituting the given values, we get $(x - 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 5^2 = 25$.

What is the value of x in the equation 3x + 5 = 17?

  1. 4

  2. 5

  3. 6

  4. 7


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

To solve this equation, we can subtract 5 from both sides: $3x + 5 - 5 = 17 - 5$. Simplifying, we get $3x = 12$. Dividing both sides by 3, we get $x = 4$.

What is the area of a sector of a circle with radius 10 and central angle 60 degrees?

  1. 25π

  2. 50π

  3. 75π

  4. 100π


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The area of a sector of a circle is given by the formula $A = (θ/360)πr^2$, where θ is the central angle in degrees and r is the radius of the circle. Substituting the given values, we get $A = (60/360)π(10)^2 = (1/6)π(100) = 25π$.

What is the volume of a sphere with radius 6?

  1. 36π

  2. 72π

  3. 108π

  4. 144π


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The volume of a sphere is given by the formula $V = (4/3)πr^3$. Substituting the given value, we get $V = (4/3)π(6)^3 = 36π$.

What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 2x + 1 and passes through the point (3, 4)?

  1. y = -(1/2)x + 5

  2. y = -(1/2)x + 7

  3. y = (1/2)x + 5

  4. y = (1/2)x + 7


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The slope of the line y = 2x + 1 is 2. The slope of a line perpendicular to this line is the negative reciprocal of 2, which is -1/2. Using the point-slope form of a line, we can write the equation of the line as $y - 4 = (-1/2)(x - 3)$. Simplifying, we get $y = -(1/2)x + 7$.
