What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 6?

70% Answer Correctly

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{6}{2} \)
r = 3
a = πr2
a = π(32)
a = 9π


2

Find the value of a:
8a + x = 3
-2a - x = 9

42% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{16}{43}\)
\(\frac{7}{9}\)
-1\(\frac{5}{8}\)
2

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of x:

8a + x = 3
x = 3 - 8a

then substitute the result (3 - 8a) into the second equation:

-2a - 1(3 - 8a) = 9
-2a + (-1 x 3) + (-1 x -8a) = 9
-2a - 3 + 8a = 9
-2a + 8a = 9 + 3
6a = 12
a = \( \frac{12}{6} \)
a = 2


3

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

91% Answer Correctly

addition

division

exponents

pairs


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)


4

If side x = 5cm, side y = 8cm, and side z = 12cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
24cm
33cm
30cm
25cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 5cm + 8cm + 12cm = 25cm


5

If angle a = 28° and angle b = 28° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
122°
141°
152°
144°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 28° - 28° = 124°

So, d° = 28° + 124° = 152°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 28° = 152°
