What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 11?

71% Answer Correctly
11π
16π
36π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 11π


2

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 3, length (l) = 2, and width (w) = 8. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
45
28
64
48

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 3 x 2 x 8
v = 48


3

If side a = 8, side b = 5, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{10} \)
\( \sqrt{74} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{89} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 52
c2 = 64 + 25
c2 = 89
c = \( \sqrt{89} \)


4

Simplify (8a)(2ab) - (9a2)(8b).

62% Answer Correctly
88ab2
-56a2b
88a2b
170ab2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(8a)(2ab) - (9a2)(8b)
(8 x 2)(a x a x b) - (9 x 8)(a2 x b)
(16)(a1+1 x b) - (72)(a2b)
16a2b - 72a2b
-56a2b


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, 1). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
2
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-3
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, 1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(1.0) - (-1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{2}{4} \)
m = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
