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

76% Answer Correctly

a = π d2

a = π r2

a = π r

a = π d


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 required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

y-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

x-intercept

slope


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


3

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

74% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

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


4

If side x = 6cm, side y = 10cm, and side z = 6cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
22cm
33cm
32cm
31cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 6cm + 10cm + 6cm = 22cm


5

What is 7a - 4a?

79% Answer Correctly
28a
a2
11
3a

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.

7a - 4a = 3a
