1

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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π d

a = π r

a = π r2

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

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

division

addition

pairs

exponents


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)


3

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 10?

69% Answer Correctly
25π

Solution

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

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{10}{2} \)
r = 5
a = πr2
a = π(52)
a = 25π


4

If c = 3 and y = -1, what is the value of -9c(c - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
-75
-234
-108
408

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.)

-9c(c - y)
-9(3)(3 + 1)
-9(3)(4)
(-27)(4)
-108


5

If side a = 7, side b = 3, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{58} \)
\( \sqrt{68} \)
\( \sqrt{145} \)
\( \sqrt{80} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 72 + 32
c2 = 49 + 9
c2 = 58
c = \( \sqrt{58} \)
