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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π r2

c = π d2

c = π r


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.


2

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

57% Answer Correctly

sum of interior angles = 180°

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh


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.


3

If the base of this triangle is 8 and the height is 7, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
27
42
28
84

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 8 x 7 = \( \frac{56}{2} \) = 28


4

If side x = 13cm, side y = 15cm, and side z = 12cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
27cm
40cm
35cm
28cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 13cm + 15cm + 12cm = 40cm


5

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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π d2

a = π d

a = π r2

a = π r


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.
