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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π d

a = π d2

a = π r2


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

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

77% Answer Correctly

formula

equation

problem

expression


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.


3

If a = c = 4, b = d = 5, and the blue angle = 63°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
3
16
56
20

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 4 x 5
a = 20


4

If angle a = 21° and angle b = 60° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
102°
99°
88°
109°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 21° - 60° = 99°


5

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles

all acute angles equal each other


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other. Same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°).
