Concepts and Skills

Find the value of each variable. (Lesson 7.1)

Question 1.
Math in Focus Grade 8 Cumulative Review Chapters 7-9 Answer Key 1
Answer:
Pythagorean Theorem states that the sum of the squares of the legs is the square of hypotenuse of a right angle. Let x be the unknown length in the right angle so,
x² + 15² = 17²
x² + 225 = 289
x² = 289 – 225
x² = 64
x = 8 (Square root of 64)
Therefore, the leg is 8 inches.

Question 2.
Math in Focus Grade 8 Cumulative Review Chapters 7-9 Answer Key 2
Answer:
(3.6)² + (2.7)² = x²
12.96 + 7.29 = x²
20.25 = x²
4.5 = x (Square root of 20.25)
Therefore, x is 4.5 inches.

The side lengths of a triangle are given. Decide whether each triangle is a right triangle. (Lesson 7.1)

Question 3.
6 cm, 8 cm, 12 cm
Answer:
6² + 8² = 12²
36 + 64 = 144
100 = 144 (100 is not equal to 144)
Since the sum of the square of the legs is not equal to the square of hypotenuse, h=the triangle is not a right triangle.

Question 4.
9 in., 7.2 in., 5.4 in.
Answer:
(7.2)² + (5.4)² = (9)²
51.84 + 29.16 = 81
81 = 81
Therefore, the triangle is a right triangle.

Find the distance between each pair of points. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth of a unit. (Lesson 7.2)

Question 5.
P(2, 5), Q(4, 13)
Answer:
d = √(x2 – x1)² + (y2 – y1)²
d = √(4 – 2)² + (13 – 5)²
d = √(2)² + (8)²
d = √4+64
d = √68
d = ±8.2

Question 6.
X(3, -1), Y(4, 2)
Answer:
d = √(x2 – x1)² + (y2 – y1)²
d = √(4 – 2)² + (2 – (-1))²
d = √(2)² + (3)²
d = √4+9
d = √13

For each solid, find the unknown dimension. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth of a unit. (Lesson 7.3)

Question 7.
Math in Focus Grade 8 Cumulative Review Chapters 7-9 Answer Key 3
Answer:
Using pythagorean theorem
18² + w² = 30²
324 + w² = 900
w² = 900 – 324
w² = 536
w ~ 23.2 (Square root of 536)
Therefore, the height w of the cone measures 23.2 cm.

Question 8.
Math in Focus Grade 8 Cumulative Review Chapters 7-9 Answer Key 4
Answer:
Using pythagorean theorem,
z² + 7² = 21²
z² + 49 = 441
z² = 441 – 49
z² = 392
z = 19.8 (Square root of 392)
Therefore, the height is 19.8 inches.

Find the volume of each composite solid. Use 3.14 as an approximation for π. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth. (Lesson 7.4)

Question 9.
Math in Focus Grade 8 Cumulative Review Chapters 7-9 Answer Key 5
Answer:
Finding the radius of the cone:
4² + n² = 5²
16 + n² = 25
n² = 25 – 16
n² = 9
n = 3 ( square root of 9 )
Therefore, the radius of the cone is 3 inches. Deducting 2 inches to radius of the cone determines the radius of the cylinder according to the diagram. Then the radius of the cylinder is 1 inch.
Finding volume of the cone:
For the volume of the cone, using 3.14 as the value of π and let h be the height,
Volume of the cone = 1/3x Area of the base x Height of the cone
= 1/3 πr² x h
= 1/3 x 3.14 x (3)² x h
= 37.68
Therefore, the cone has a volume of 37.68 cubic meters.
Finding the volume of cylinder:
For the volume of the cylinder, using 3.14 as the value of π and the height j measures 10 inches.
Volume of the cylinder = Area of the base x height of cylinder
= πr² x j
= 3.14 x (1)² x 10
= 31.4
Therefore, the cylinder has a volume of 31.4 cubic inches.
By adding two volumes will get the total volume of the figure,
Total volume = Volume of the cone + Volume of the cylinder
= 37.68 + 31.4
= 69.08
Therefore, the total volume is 69.08 cubic meters.

Question 10.
Math in Focus Grade 8 Cumulative Review Chapters 7-9 Answer Key 6
Answer:
Finding the sides of the cube:
g² + h² = 3²
g² + h² = 9
g² + g² = 9 (since g = h)
2 g² = 9
g² = 9/2
g² = 4.5
g ~ 2.1(Square root of 4.5)
Therefore, the sides of the cube measures 2.1 cm.
Finding the volume of the cube:
Volume of the cube = s³
= (2.1)³
~ 9.3
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 9.3 cubic cm.
Finding the volume of the sphere:
Volume of the sphere = 4/3 πr³
= 4/3 x 3.14 x (1.05)³
= 4/3 x 3.14 x 1.2
= 4.8
Volume of the hemisphere = Volume of the sphere/2
= 4.8/2
= 2.4
Therefore, the hemisphere has a volume of 2.4 cubic cm.

A pool table has a width of 5.5 inches. A ball travels a distance of 12.3 inches diagonally from one corner to the other corner of the table. Find the length of the pool table, rounded to the nearest tenth. (Chapter 7)
Answer:
Using pythagorean theorem,
(5.5)² + j² = (12.3)²
30.25 + j² = 151.29
j² = 151.29 – 30.25
j² = 121.04
j ~ 11 (Square root of 121.04)
Therefore, the length of the pool table is 11 inches.

Question 30.

If the doorway is 2 meters high and the chain is 2.5 meters long, find the length of the bridge, rounded to the nearest tenth. (Chapter 7)
Answer:
Using the pythagorean theorem,
y² + z² = x²
(2.5)² + 2² = x²
6.25 + 4 = x²
10.25 = x²
x ~ 3.2 (square root of 10.25)
Therefore, the drawbridge is around 3.2 m in length

Question 31.
Gabriel photocopied an exact copy of the shape ABCDE. The photocopied shape is shown on the right. (Chapter 9)
Math in Focus Grade 8 Cumulative Review Chapters 7-9 Answer Key 20

a) Name the shape congruent to ABCDE.
Answer: Point A corresponds to G , B point to H and point C corresponds to I, D corresponds to J and E corresponds to F. Therefore, the congruent shape to ABCDE is GHIJF.

b) Find the values of w, x, and y.
Answer:
Since ABCDE is congruent to GHIJF, their corresponding angles are equal. Thus, side AB of ABCDE is equal to GH of GHIJF, since these two sides corresponds to each other. So,
AB = GH
The measure of the lengths of AB is 2 feet while GH is 4y feet.
2 = 4y
y = 2/4
y = 0.5
Therefore, y is equal to 0.5
Side EA of ABCDE is equal to FG of GHIJF
EA = FG
The measure of the lengths of EA is (y+2x) feet while FG is 3.5 feet
y + 2x = 3.5
0.5 + 2x = 3.5
2x = 3.5 – 0.5
2x = 3
x = 3/2
x = 1.5
Therefore, x is equal to 1.5
Side BC of ABCDE is equal to HI of GHIJF
BC = HI
The measure of lengths of BC is (x + w) feet while HI is 5.6 feet
x + w = 5.6
1.5 + w = 5.6 (As x = 1.5)
w = 5.6 – 1.5
w = 4.1
Therefore, w is equal to 4.1

Question 32.
Mary wants to pour 130 cm3 of water into the conical cup shown.

a) Find the volume of the conical cup. Use 3.14 as an approximation for π. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Answer:

Math in Focus Grade 8 Cumulative Review Chapters 7-9 Answer Key 21
Using pythagorean theorem,
(4.5)² + m² = (7.5)²
20.25 + m² = 56.25
m² = 56.25 – 20.25
m² = 36
m = 6
Therefore, the height of the cone is 6 cm
For the volume of the cone, 3.14 is the value of π and m is the height,
Volume of the cone = 1/3 Area of the base x Height of the cone
= 1/3πr² x m
= 1/3 x (3.14) x (4.5)² x (6)
= 127.17
Therefore, cone has a volume of 127.17 cubic cm.

b) Will the water overflow? Explain.
Answer: Since Mary wants to pour 127.17 cubic centimeters, the water will spill. The conical cup can only accommodate up to 127.17 cubic centimeters of liquid.

Question 33.
Two cones are similar in shape. The ratio of the diameters of their bases is 2 : 7. The radius of the smaller cone is 4.5 inches.

a) Find the radius of the larger cone.
Answer:

2/7 = 4.5/s
2 x s = 4.5 x 7
2s = 31.5
s = 31.5/2
s = 15.75
Therefore, the larger cone has a radius measuring 15.75 inches.

b) Write the ratio of the height of the smaller cone to the height of the larger cone.

Question 34.
A car is 25 feet long and 6 feet wide. A model of the same car is 9 inches long. What is the width of the model of the car if the model is a dilation of the car?
Answer:
Scale factor = Length of the model car/ Length of the actual car
= 0.75/25
= 0.03
Thus, the scale factor is 0.03
To solve width, multiplying the actual width to the scale factor,
Width of the model car = Width of the car x scale factor
= 6 x 0.03
= 0.18
Therefore, the width of the model car is 0.18 feet,
Converting this into inches, multiplying 0.18 with 12
Thus, the model car has a width of 2.16 inches.

Question 35.
Figure PQRST is dilated with center P and a scale factor of 1.45. Under this dilation, it is mapped onto figure UVWXY. Figure UVWXYis then mapped onto ABCDE by a reflection about segment UV.
Math in Focus Grade 8 Cumulative Review Chapters 7-9 Answer Key 22
a) Tell whether PQRST and ABCDE are congruent or similar figures. Explain.
Answer: The reflection that maps UVWXYZ onto ABCDE does not change the size and shape of the figure. Thus, they are congruent. The dilation that maps PQRST onto UVWXYZ however enlarges the size of PQRST. Therefore, UVWXYZ and PQRST are similar.

b) Find m∠UYX.
Answer: UVWXYZ and PQRST are congruent, then their corresponding angles are equal. The angle P corresponds to angle U, Q to angle V and angle R corresponds to W. The corresponding angle of S is angle X and angle T corresponds to Y . Since angle T corresponds to angle Y, then T is equal to Y. Angle T is equal to 120 degree. Therefore, angle Y is equal to 120 degree.

c) The area of PQRST is 20 square inches. Find the area of ABCDE.
Answer: The area of ABCDE is also a dilated image of PQRST. So, by multiplying the area of the actual image which is 20 square inches to the scale factor, the area of ABCDE
Area of ABCED = Area of PQRST x Scale factor
= 20 x 1.45
= 29
Therefore, ABCDE has an area of 29 square inches.
