Two triangles are similar with a scale factor of 3. If the smaller triangle has an area of 8 square units, what is the area of the larger triangle?
Answer: 72 square units
Area scales by the square of the linear scale factor, so 8 × 3² = 72.
A right triangle has legs of length 9 and 12. What is the length of the hypotenuse?
Answer: 15
By the Pythagorean theorem, √(9² + 12²) = √225 = 15.
What is the sum of the interior angles of a regular hexagon?
Answer: 720°
The sum is (n − 2) × 180° = (6 − 2) × 180° = 720°.
A circle has a radius of 5. What is its area? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
Answer: 78.5
Area = πr² = 3.14 × 25 = 78.5.
Which transformation produces a figure that is congruent to the original but reversed, like a mirror image?
Answer: Reflection
A reflection flips a figure over a line, creating a congruent mirror image.
Two angles are complementary. If one measures 35°, what is the measure of the other?
Answer: 55°
Complementary angles sum to 90°, so 90° − 35° = 55°.
What is the volume of a rectangular prism with length 4, width 3, and height 5?
Answer: 60
Volume = length × width × height = 4 × 3 × 5 = 60.
