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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d2

c = π r2

c = π d

c = π r


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

What is 5a - 8a?

78% Answer Correctly
a2
-3a
40a2
-3

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 - 8a = -3a


3

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

sum of interior angles = 180°

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


4

If BD = 18 and AD = 22, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
8
6
4
3

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 22 - 18
AB = 4


5

Solve for x:
-8x + 5 > \( \frac{x}{-4} \)

44% Answer Correctly
x > -\(\frac{16}{25}\)
x > \(\frac{20}{31}\)
x > -1\(\frac{11}{25}\)
x > -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

-8x + 5 > \( \frac{x}{-4} \)
-4 x (-8x + 5) > x
(-4 x -8x) + (-4 x 5) > x
32x - 20 > x
32x - 20 - x > 0
32x - x > 20
31x > 20
x > \( \frac{20}{31} \)
x > \(\frac{20}{31}\)
