The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?
c = π d |
|
c = π r |
|
c = π r2 |
|
c = π d2 |
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.
If the area of this square is 25, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
| 8\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 4\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 7\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 5\( \sqrt{2} \) |
To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:
a = s2
so the length of one side of the square is:
s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) = 5
The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:
c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 52 + 52
c2 = 50
c = \( \sqrt{50} \) = \( \sqrt{25 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 5\( \sqrt{2} \)
Factor y2 - 8y + 16
| (y + 4)(y - 4) | |
| (y - 4)(y + 4) | |
| (y + 4)(y + 4) | |
| (y - 4)(y - 4) |
To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce 16 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -8. For this problem, those two numbers are -4 and -4. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):
y2 - 8y + 16
y2 + (-4 - 4)y + (-4 x -4)
(y - 4)(y - 4)
The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?
2lw x 2wh + 2lh |
|
h x l x w |
|
lw x wh + lh |
|
h2 x l2 x w2 |
A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.
If a = 1 and y = -2, what is the value of 9a(a - y)?
| 126 | |
| 27 | |
| 70 | |
| -378 |
To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
9a(a - y)
9(1)(1 + 2)
9(1)(3)
(9)(3)
