1

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 3?

71% Answer Correctly
12π
11π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 3)
c = 6π


2

If side a = 4, side b = 4, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{32} \)
\( \sqrt{20} \)
\( \sqrt{117} \)
\( \sqrt{90} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 42
c2 = 16 + 16
c2 = 32
c = \( \sqrt{32} \)


3

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

58% Answer Correctly

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


4

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

78% Answer Correctly

a = π d2

a = π r

a = π d

a = π r2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


5

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

75% Answer Correctly

factoring

normalizing

deconstructing

squaring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.
