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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π d2

a = π d

a = π r2

a = π r


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

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r2

c = π d2

c = π d

c = π r


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.


3

If the area of this square is 64, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) = 8

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 82
c2 = 128
c = \( \sqrt{128} \) = \( \sqrt{64 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 8\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

91% Answer Correctly

pairs

exponents

addition

division


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 9. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
252π
288π
64π
20π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(92) + 2π(9 x 5)
sa = 2π(81) + 2π(45)
sa = (2 x 81)π + (2 x 45)π
sa = 162π + 90π
sa = 252π
