1

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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π r

a = π d

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

Simplify (3a)(2ab) + (7a2)(6b).

65% Answer Correctly
48a2b
36a2b
-36ab2
65ab2

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.

(3a)(2ab) + (7a2)(6b)
(3 x 2)(a x a x b) + (7 x 6)(a2 x b)
(6)(a1+1 x b) + (42)(a2b)
6a2b + 42a2b
48a2b


3

If the base of this triangle is 3 and the height is 9, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
27
90
24\(\frac{1}{2}\)
13\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 3 x 9 = \( \frac{27}{2} \) = 13\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

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

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{89} \)
\( \sqrt{52} \)
\( \sqrt{5} \)
\( \sqrt{37} \)

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 = \( \sqrt{89} \)


5

What is 5a + 9a?

81% Answer Correctly
45a
45a2
14a
a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

5a + 9a = 14a
