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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π d

a = π r2

a = π d2

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.


2

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

88% Answer Correctly

division

exponents

pairs

addition


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.)


3

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

90% Answer Correctly

3

4

5

2


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


4

Simplify (5a)(8ab) + (5a2)(5b).

65% Answer Correctly
130ab2
65a2b
65ab2
15ab2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(5a)(8ab) + (5a2)(5b)
(5 x 8)(a x a x b) + (5 x 5)(a2 x b)
(40)(a1+1 x b) + (25)(a2b)
40a2b + 25a2b
65a2b

Solve -6a - a = -3a + 3z - 5 for a in terms of z.

34% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{1}{3}\)z + 1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
-\(\frac{2}{3}\)z - 1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{5}{12}\)z + \(\frac{5}{12}\)
z + 1

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (a) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-6a - z = -3a + 3z - 5
-6a = -3a + 3z - 5 + z
-6a + 3a = 3z - 5 + z
-3a = 4z - 5
a = \( \frac{4z - 5}{-3} \)
a = \( \frac{4z}{-3} \) + \( \frac{-5}{-3} \)
a = -1\(\frac{1}{3}\)z + 1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
