What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 19?

71% Answer Correctly
38π
34π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 19)
c = 38π


2

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

radius

chord

diameter


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).

Solve -3b + 7b = -9b - 8y - 7 for b in terms of y.

35% Answer Correctly
7y - 8
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\frac{2}{7}\)y - 1
16y - 5

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (b) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-3b + 7y = -9b - 8y - 7
-3b = -9b - 8y - 7 - 7y
-3b + 9b = -8y - 7 - 7y
6b = -15y - 7
b = \( \frac{-15y - 7}{6} \)
b = \( \frac{-15y}{6} \) + \( \frac{-7}{6} \)
b = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{6}\)


4

If b = 7 and x = -2, what is the value of 2b(b - x)?

69% Answer Correctly
-54
336
126
-120

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.)

2b(b - x)
2(7)(7 + 2)
2(7)(9)
(14)(9)
126

If the area of this square is 36, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

69% Answer Correctly
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
6\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{36} \) = 6

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 62 + 62
c2 = 72
c = \( \sqrt{72} \) = \( \sqrt{36 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{36} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 6\( \sqrt{2} \)
