What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 1?

71% Answer Correctly
24π
18π
16π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 1)
c = 2π


2

Find the value of a:
-6a + z = 8
-5a - 8z = 2

42% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{13}{53}\)
-\(\frac{33}{37}\)
3\(\frac{16}{21}\)
-5\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of z:

-6a + z = 8
z = 8 + 6a

then substitute the result (8 - -6a) into the second equation:

-5a - 8(8 + 6a) = 2
-5a + (-8 x 8) + (-8 x 6a) = 2
-5a - 64 - 48a = 2
-5a - 48a = 2 + 64
-53a = 66
a = \( \frac{66}{-53} \)
a = -1\(\frac{13}{53}\)


3

If a = 6, b = 5, c = 6, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
21
19
25
22

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 6 + 5 + 6 + 2
p = 19


4

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

45°

180°

360°

90°


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

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

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

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

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents


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.
