    This document contains 7 practice math problems involving calculations with quadratics, simplifying expressions, finding perimeters of right triangles based on given areas, and determining the value of an unknown based on an equation involving an operator. The problems get progressively more difficult, starting with simplifying expressions and calculating squares and cube roots, then finding perimeters of triangles where the area is given, and concluding with determining the value of an unknown variable.

    A right angled isosceles triangle has an area of 32. Isosceles: having


    What is the perimeter of the triangle? two sides equal.
    Greek:
    Area = bh isos = equal
    skelos = leg
    32 = a2
    64 = a2 a
    8 = a
    hyp2 = a2 + a2 A forest is two
    hyp2 = 64 + 64 a kilometres across.
    hyp = 128 How far can you go
    into it?
    hyp = 642 Perimeter = 8 + 8 + 82 One kilometre.
    hyp = 82 Perimeter = 16 + 82 or 27.31 After that, you are
    going out.
