  2. Which is a net for a pentagonal pyramid?
    1. A net has a square in the center with a triangle spanning each side.
    2. A net has five triangles sharing a vertex and sharing sides. A side of a pentagon spans the side of the leftmost triangle opposite the shared vertex.
    3. A net has a row of five vertical rectangles with sides of a pentagon spanning the top and bottom sides of the second rectangle from the left.
    4. A net has four triangles, one in the center with three spanning each side.
  3. A frozen dinner is divided into three sections on a circular plate with a 12-in. diameter. What is the approximate arc length of the section containing green beans?

    A circular plate is divided into a sector for corn with arc 98 degrees, a sector for fish with arc 195 degrees, and a sector for green beans.

  5. The formula for the volume of a cone is v equals , 1 third , pi . r squared , h .  Which statement is true?
    1. The volume depends on the mean of π, the radius, and the height.
    2. The volume depends only on the square of the radius.
    3. The radius depends on the product of the height and π.
    4. The volume depends on both the height and the radius.
  6. A wooden pole was broken during a windstorm. Before the pole broke, the height of the pole above the ground was 18984 ft. When it broke, the top of the pole hit the ground 12 ft from the base.

    A broken wooden pole has bottom section, measuring x feet, forming a leg of a right triangle and top part forming the hypotenuse, with bottom base 12 feet.

    How tall is the part of the pole that remained standing?

    1. 5 ft
    2. 10 ft
    3. 13 ft
    4. 15 ft
  7. cap delta eh b c  is a right isosceles triangle. Which statement CANNOT be true?
    1. The length of the hypotenuse is square root of 2 middle dot  the length of a leg.
    2. eh b equals b c
    3. The hypotenuse is the shortest side of the triangle.
    4. m angle , b equals 90
