Simplify \( \sqrt{175} \)

62% Answer Correctly
7\( \sqrt{14} \)
5\( \sqrt{14} \)
9\( \sqrt{7} \)
5\( \sqrt{7} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{175} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 7} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 7} \)
5\( \sqrt{7} \)


2

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 75% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
35%
25%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 75% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{75\text{%}}{2} \) = 37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


3
