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.


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 4. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
288π
64π
63π
144π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(42 x 4)
v = 64π


3

Factor y2 + 3y - 4

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 1)(y - 4)
(y + 1)(y + 4)
(y - 1)(y + 4)
(y + 1)(y - 4)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -4 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal 3. For this problem, those two numbers are -1 and 4. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 + 3y - 4
y2 + (-1 + 4)y + (-1 x 4)
(y - 1)(y + 4)


4

If a = c = 8, b = d = 4, and the blue angle = 79°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
32
63
7
16

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 8 x 4
a = 32


5

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c - a

c2 - a2

a2 - c2

c2 + a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)
