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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π r

c = π d2

c = 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.


2

If a = 5, b = 6, c = 9, and d = 4, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
17
24
16
10

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 5 + 6 + 9 + 4
p = 24


3

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

supplementary, vertical

vertical, supplementary

acute, obtuse

obtuse, acute


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).


4

What is 3a8 - 9a8?

73% Answer Correctly
12a16
-6a8
-6
12

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

3a8 - 9a8 = -6a8


5

If side a = 9, side b = 4, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{13} \)
\( \sqrt{82} \)
\( \sqrt{53} \)
\( \sqrt{97} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 42
c2 = 81 + 16
c2 = 97
c = \( \sqrt{97} \)
