What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 8?

69% Answer Correctly
16π
25π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{8}{2} \)
r = 4
a = πr2
a = π(42)
a = 16π


2

What is 2a + 6a?

81% Answer Correctly
8a2
8a
a2
-4a2

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.

2a + 6a = 8a


3

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 6, b = 2, c = 7, d = 8, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
30
10\(\frac{1}{2}\)
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)
20

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(2 + 8)(4)
a = ½(10)(4)
a = ½(40) = \( \frac{40}{2} \)
a = 20


4

If c = 2 and y = -5, what is the value of 5c(c - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
80
48
40
70

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

5c(c - y)
5(2)(2 + 5)
5(2)(7)
(10)(7)
70


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 5) and (2, -3). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = x - 4
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 2
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 2
y = -2x + 1

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 1. 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, 5) and (2, -3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-3.0) - (5.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-8}{4} \)
m = -2

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -2x + 1
