Question 1 of 5
What is the length of the unknown leg of a right triangle that has one leg measuring 8 feet and a hypotenuse of 12 feet? (Round to the nearest tenth)
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To find the length of the unknown leg of a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. The theorem states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse (12 feet) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Let x be the length of the unknown leg. So, 12^2 = 8^2 + x^2. Solving for x gives x = √(12^2 - 8^2) = √(144 - 64) = √80 ≈ 8.9 feet. Therefore, the length of the unknown leg is approximately 8.9 feet.

Question 2 of 5
When a person increases cycling speed, the rate of calories burned, distance traveled, and energy expended also increase. Which of the following is the independent variable?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the context of this scenario, the independent variable is the factor that is deliberately altered or controlled to observe its impact on other variables. When a person adjusts their cycling speed, it directly influences the rate of calories burned, distance traveled, and energy expended. Speed is the independent variable because it is manipulated to study its effects on the dependent variables - calories burned, distance traveled, and energy expended. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Speed.'
Question 3 of 5
What is the equivalent weight in pounds of 50 kg? (1 kg = 2.2 lb)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert kilograms to pounds, you multiply by the conversion factor 2.2 (1 kg = 2.2 lb). Therefore, 50 kg * 2.2 lb/kg = 110 lb. The correct answer is A because 50 kg is equivalent to 110 lb when using the conversion factor.
Question 4 of 5
A baker is using a cookie recipe that calls for 2 1/4 cups of flour to yield 36 cookies. How much flour will the baker need to make 90 cookies using the same recipe?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To determine how much flour is needed for 90 cookies using the same recipe, start by calculating the amount of flour required per cookie in the original recipe. The original recipe uses 2 1/4 cups of flour for 36 cookies. To find the amount per cookie, divide the total flour by the number of cookies: 2 1/4 / 36 = 1/16 cup per cookie. Next, multiply the amount per cookie by the new number of cookies: 1/16 * 90 = 5 5/8 cups. Therefore, the baker will need 5 5/8 cups of flour to make 90 cookies following the same recipe.
Question 5 of 5
A temporary gauge reads 95F. Which of the following is the correct conversion to degrees Celsius ( Note: C = 5/9 (F = 32))
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Using the formula C = 5/9(F - 32): 95F - 32 = 63; 63 � 5/9 ? 35C.
