What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 6?

69% Answer Correctly
16π
36π

Solution

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

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{6}{2} \)
r = 3
a = πr2
a = π(32)
a = 9π


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


3

If angle a = 30° and angle b = 69° what is the length of angle c?

70% Answer Correctly
68°
97°
81°
98°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 30° - 69° = 81°


4

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

90°

45°

360°

180°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


5

Factor y2 - y - 6

53% Answer Correctly
(y - 3)(y + 2)
(y + 3)(y + 2)
(y + 3)(y - 2)
(y - 3)(y - 2)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -6 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -1. For this problem, those two numbers are -3 and 2. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - y - 6
y2 + (-3 + 2)y + (-3 x 2)
(y - 3)(y + 2)
