What is the area of a circle with a radius of 2?

69% Answer Correctly
64π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π


2

What is 7a + 7a?

81% Answer Correctly
2
14a
a2
14

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.

7a + 7a = 14a


3

If a = 8, b = 1, c = 2, and d = 6, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
15
17
16
23

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 8 + 1 + 2 + 6
p = 17


4

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

63% Answer Correctly

the lengths of all sides are equal

the area is length x width

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).


5

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

deconstructing

normalizing

factoring

squaring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.
