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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r

c = π d2

c = π r2

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

If AD = 19 and BD = 14, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
5
14
13
15

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 19 - 14
AB = 5


3

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

division

exponents

pairs

addition


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)


4

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

49% Answer Correctly

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

the area of a parallelogram is base x height


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 6 and radius (r) = 4. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
72π
80π
176π
160π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(42) + 2π(4 x 6)
sa = 2π(16) + 2π(24)
sa = (2 x 16)π + (2 x 24)π
sa = 32π + 48π
sa = 80π
