What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 5?

71% Answer Correctly
10π
24π
19π

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 * 5)
c = 10π


2

Solve for x:
x2 + 10x - 15 = 3x + 3

49% Answer Correctly
6 or -1
8 or -9
9 or -6
2 or -9

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

x2 + 10x - 15 = 3x + 3
x2 + 10x - 15 - 3 = 3x
x2 + 10x - 3x - 18 = 0
x2 + 7x - 18 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

x2 + 7x - 18 = 0
(x - 2)(x + 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x - 2) or (x + 9) must equal zero:

If (x - 2) = 0, x must equal 2
If (x + 9) = 0, x must equal -9

So the solution is that x = 2 or -9


3

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

68% Answer Correctly

h x l x w

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh

h2 x l2 x w2


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


4

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

4

3

5

2


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 6b + 7b = 2b - 8x + 2 for b in terms of x.

35% Answer Correctly
x + \(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{2}{7}\)x + \(\frac{1}{7}\)
5x + 1
-3\(\frac{3}{4}\)x + \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (b) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

6b + 7x = 2b - 8x + 2
6b = 2b - 8x + 2 - 7x
6b - 2b = -8x + 2 - 7x
4b = -15x + 2
b = \( \frac{-15x + 2}{4} \)
b = \( \frac{-15x}{4} \) + \( \frac{2}{4} \)
b = -3\(\frac{3}{4}\)x + \(\frac{1}{2}\)
