Short Response

  1. Find the values of x and y. Show your work.

    A right triangle has legs measuring 6 and y. An altitude line from the right angle meets the hypotenuse at distance x from the leg measuring 6.

Mixed Review

See Lesson 11-5.

Find the volume of each figure to the nearest cubic unit.

  1. A pyramid has height 3 meters and square base with edges 4 meters.
  2. A cone has slant height 5 inches and base radius 2 inches.
  3. A cone has height 42 millimeters and base radius 21 millimeters.

See Lessons 6-4 and 8-3.

  1. A leg of a right triangle has a length of 4 cm and the hypotenuse has a length of 7 cm. Find the measure of each acute angle of the triangle to the nearest degree.
  2. The length of each side of a rhombus is 16. The longer diagonal has length 26. Find the measures of the angles of the rhombus to the nearest degree.
