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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d2

c = π r2

c = π r

c = π d


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.

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If x° = 150, what is the value of c°?

72% Answer Correctly
146
29
31
30

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other
  • same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°)

Applying these relationships starting with x° = 150, the value of c° is 30.

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 4) and (2, -6). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 2
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1
y = 2x - 2
y = -3x + 2

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, 4) and (2, -6) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-6.0) - (4.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-10}{4} \)
m = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1


4

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 5, c = 7, d = 8, and h = 4. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
20
26
32
13

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(5 + 8)(4)
a = ½(13)(4)
a = ½(52) = \( \frac{52}{2} \)
a = 26

Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.
