According to the Theorem of Pythagoras,
- A.
H = (a² + b²)
- B.
H² = √(a² + b²)
- C.
H = √(a² + b²)
Correct Answer
C. H = √(a² + b²)Explanation
The answer h = √(a² + b²) is correct because it represents the formula derived from the Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (h) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a and b). Therefore, taking the square root of the sum of the squares of a and b gives us the length of the hypotenuse.Rate this question:

According to the Theorem of Pythagoras,
- A.
A² = h² - b²
- B.
A² = h² + b²
- C.
A = h - b
Correct Answer
A. A² = h² - b²Explanation
The correct answer is a² = h² - b². This is the formula for the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (a) is equal to the difference between the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (h and b).Rate this question:

If a = 3 and b = 4, then h =
Correct Answer
5Explanation
The value of h can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (h) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a and b). In this case, a = 3 and b = 4. Therefore, h^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25. Taking the square root of both sides, we get h = 5.Rate this question:

If a = 5, b = 12, then h =
Correct Answer
13Explanation
In this question, the values of a and b are given as 5 and 12 respectively. The variable h is not explicitly defined in the question, but based on the given values, it can be inferred that h represents the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle. According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Therefore, using the values of a and b, we can calculate the value of h as the square root of (5^2 + 12^2), which is equal to 13.Rate this question:

No Slope
Correct Answer
D. No SlopeExplanation
No Slope is the correct answer because the options Positive, Negative, and Zero Slope all indicate some degree of inclination or change in the slope. However, "No Slope" means that the line is completely horizontal and does not have any inclination or change in slope. Therefore, the correct answer is No Slope.Rate this question:

What is the y-intercept in the following equation:y = -3x + 2
Correct Answer
2, +2, + 2Explanation
The y-intercept in the equation y = -3x + 2 is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. In this equation, the y-intercept is the value of y when x is equal to 0. By substituting x = 0 into the equation, we get y = -3(0) + 2, which simplifies to y = 2. Therefore, the y-intercept is 2.Rate this question:

What is the y-intercept in the following equation:y = -5x - 7
Correct Answer
-7, - 7Explanation
The y-intercept is the point where the graph of the equation intersects the y-axis. In the given equation y = -5x - 7, the constant term -7 represents the y-intercept. This means that when x = 0, y will be -7. Therefore, the y-intercept is (-7, -7).Rate this question:

To find the slope of a line passing through two given points, we can use the formula: slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). In this case, the coordinates of point F are (-5, 1) and the coordinates of point G are (0, -9). Plugging these values into the formula, we get: slope = (-9 - 1) / (0 - (-5)) = -10 / 5 = -2. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through points F and G is -2.Rate this question:

Identify the y-intercept of the equation. y = 2/9 x?
Correct Answer
0Explanation
The y-intercept of an equation is the value of y when x is equal to 0. In this equation, when x is 0, the value of y is also 0. Therefore, the y-intercept of the equation y = (2/9)x is 0.Rate this question:

- C.
(-2, 7)
- D.
(0, 3)
- E.
(2, 4)
Correct Answer
B. (4, 4)Explanation
The midpoint of two points can be found by taking the average of their x-coordinates and the average of their y-coordinates. In this case, the x-coordinate of point A is 10 and the x-coordinate of point B is -2. Taking the average of these gives us (10 + (-2))/2 = 4. Similarly, the y-coordinate of point A is 3 and the y-coordinate of point B is 5. Taking the average of these gives us (3 + 5)/2 = 4. Therefore, the midpoint of A(10, 3) and B(-2, 5) is (4, 4).Rate this question:

Find the distance between (2,2) and (6,2).أوجد المسافة بين النقطتين
Correct Answer
4Explanation
The distance between two points in a coordinate plane can be found using the distance formula, which is derived from the Pythagorean theorem. In this case, the two points (2,2) and (6,2) have the same y-coordinate, indicating that they lie on the same horizontal line. Since they have different x-coordinates, the distance between them can be calculated as the absolute difference between their x-coordinates, which is 4. Hence, the distance between the two points is 4.Rate this question:

Find the distance between (-1,3) and (2,-1).احسب طول المسافة بين النقطتين
Correct Answer
5Explanation
The distance between two points in a coordinate plane can be found using the distance formula, which is derived from the Pythagorean theorem. The formula is d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points. In this case, the coordinates are (-1, 3) and (2, -1). Plugging these values into the formula, we get d = sqrt((2 - (-1))^2 + (-1 - 3)^2) = sqrt(3^2 + (-4)^2) = sqrt(9 + 16) = sqrt(25) = 5. Therefore, the distance between the two points is 5 units.Rate this question:

Find the distance between (-6,-3) and (6,6).احسب طول المسافة بين النقطتين
Correct Answer
15Explanation
The distance between two points in a coordinate plane can be found using the distance formula, which is derived from the Pythagorean theorem. In this case, the distance between (-6,-3) and (6,6) can be calculated as follows:
d = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
= √[(6 - (-6))^2 + (6 - (-3))^2]
= √[12^2 + 9^2]
= √[144 + 81]
= √225
= 15
Therefore, the distance between the two points is 15 units.Rate this question:
