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

78% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π d2

a = π d

a = 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

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 7. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
32π
24π
176π
112π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(72) + 2π(7 x 1)
sa = 2π(49) + 2π(7)
sa = (2 x 49)π + (2 x 7)π
sa = 98π + 14π
sa = 112π


3

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c - a

c2 + a2

a2 - c2

c2 - a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


4

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

72% Answer Correctly

circumference

radius

diameter

chord


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


5

Solve for b:
7b - 8 < 8 + b

55% Answer Correctly
b < -2
b < -4
b < -1
b < 2\(\frac{2}{3}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

7b - 8 < 8 + b
7b < 8 + b + 8
7b - b < 8 + 8
6b < 16
b < \( \frac{16}{6} \)
b < 2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
