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

78% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π d

a = π r2

a = π d2


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

Solve for c:
c2 - 9 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
3 or -3
-2 or -2
-6 or -7
4 or 3

Solution

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

c2 - 9 = 0
(c - 3)(c + 3) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (c - 3) or (c + 3) must equal zero:

If (c - 3) = 0, c must equal 3
If (c + 3) = 0, c must equal -3

So the solution is that c = 3 or -3

If a = c = 5, b = d = 6, and the blue angle = 51°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
35
56
30
54

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 6
a = 30


4

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

88% Answer Correctly
15
24
16
21

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 6 + 6 + 2 + 2
p = 16


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 7, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 6. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
48
318
162
262

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 9 x 6) + (2 x 6 x 7) + (2 x 9 x 7)
sa = (108) + (84) + (126)
sa = 318
