What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 4?

69% Answer Correctly
36π

Solution

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

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{4}{2} \)
r = 2
a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π


2

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral and isosceles

isosceles and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


3

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


4

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

90% Answer Correctly

2

5

3

4


Solution

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


5

Solve for b:
b2 + 2b - 48 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
4 or 1
8 or -9
6 or -8
-1 or -3

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

b2 + 2b - 48 = 0
(b - 6)(b + 8) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (b - 6) or (b + 8) must equal zero:

If (b - 6) = 0, b must equal 6
If (b + 8) = 0, b must equal -8

So the solution is that b = 6 or -8
