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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π r

a = π d2

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 expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

binomial

quadratic

monomial

polynomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


3

What is 3a - 4a?

79% Answer Correctly
-1
12a2
7
-1a

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.

3a - 4a = -1a


4

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

y-axis

origin

all of these

x-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


5

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the area is length x width

the lengths of all sides are equal

all interior angles are right angles


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
