What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 12?

71% Answer Correctly
12π
16π
11π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 12π


2

Find the value of a:
-2a + z = -7
a + 8z = 4

42% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{17}{20}\)
3\(\frac{9}{17}\)
-\(\frac{6}{19}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of z:

-2a + z = -7
z = -7 + 2a

then substitute the result (-7 - -2a) into the second equation:

a + 8(-7 + 2a) = 4
a + (8 x -7) + (8 x 2a) = 4
a - 56 + 16a = 4
a + 16a = 4 + 56
17a = 60
a = \( \frac{60}{17} \)
a = 3\(\frac{9}{17}\)


3

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the area is length x width

the lengths of all sides are equal

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

all interior angles are right angles


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


4

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


5

If a = c = 7, b = d = 4, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
9
28
10
6

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 7 x 4
a = 28
