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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r2

c = π d

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

Simplify (y - 3)(y - 9)

62% Answer Correctly
y2 + 12y + 27
y2 + 6y - 27
y2 - 12y + 27
y2 - 6y - 27

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y - 3)(y - 9)
(y x y) + (y x -9) + (-3 x y) + (-3 x -9)
y2 - 9y - 3y + 27
y2 - 12y + 27


3

If BD = 8 and AD = 16, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
8
13
10
9

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 16 - 8
AB = 8


4

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

74% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


5

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).
