Q3 · Difficulty 1/3

Calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 5cm and 12cm.

  1. 17 cm
  2. 13 cm
  3. 7 cm
  4. 169 cm
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — 13 cm
c² = 5² + 12² = 25 + 144 = 169. c = √169 = 13 cm.
Q4 · Difficulty 2/3

The area of a parallelogram with base 10 cm and height 4 cm is:

  1. 14 cm²
  2. 80 cm²
  3. 40 cm²

Area = base × height = 10 × 4 = 40 cm².
Q5 · Difficulty 2/3

A speed of 60 km/h is equivalent to how many m/s?

  1. 100 m/s
  2. 16.7 m/s
  3. 1 m/s
  4. 3600 m/s
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — 16.7 m/s
60 km/h = 60000m ÷ 3600s = 16.67 m/s. Divide by 3.6 to convert km/h to m/s.
