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

If side x = 15cm, side y = 12cm, and side z = 13cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
40cm
31cm
29cm
30cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 15cm + 12cm + 13cm = 40cm


3

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

75% Answer Correctly

right, obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse, right

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

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


4

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

quadrilateral

rhombus

triangle

trapezoid


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.

Solve 4b - 8b = 5b + x + 9 for b in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{3}{4}\)x + 2
-15x + 8
-9x - 9
5\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4

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.

4b - 8x = 5b + x + 9
4b = 5b + x + 9 + 8x
4b - 5b = x + 9 + 8x
-b = 9x + 9
b = \( \frac{9x + 9}{-1} \)
b = \( \frac{9x}{-1} \) + \( \frac{9}{-1} \)
b = -9x - 9
