1

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

76% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π d2

a = π d

a = 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

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

74% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

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


3

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


4

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 8, c = 8, d = 8, and h = 3. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
25\(\frac{1}{2}\)
14
24
9

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(8 + 8)(3)
a = ½(16)(3)
a = ½(48) = \( \frac{48}{2} \)
a = 24


5

Solve for z:
-4z + 4 = \( \frac{z}{4} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{18}{25}\)
\(\frac{16}{17}\)
-\(\frac{16}{35}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{19}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

-4z + 4 = \( \frac{z}{4} \)
4 x (-4z + 4) = z
(4 x -4z) + (4 x 4) = z
-16z + 16 = z
-16z + 16 - z = 0
-16z - z = -16
-17z = -16
z = \( \frac{-16}{-17} \)
z = \(\frac{16}{17}\)
