1

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 3?

71% Answer Correctly
10π
18π

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 * 3)
c = 6π


2

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

52% Answer Correctly

rhombus

quadrilateral

triangle

trapezoid


Solution

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


3

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

91% Answer Correctly

addition

exponents

pairs

division


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?

50% Answer Correctly

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

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


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

Find the value of a:
-3a + x = -7
2a - 9x = 3

42% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
2\(\frac{2}{5}\)
-2
1\(\frac{4}{13}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of x:

-3a + x = -7
x = -7 + 3a

then substitute the result (-7 - -3a) into the second equation:

2a - 9(-7 + 3a) = 3
2a + (-9 x -7) + (-9 x 3a) = 3
2a + 63 - 27a = 3
2a - 27a = 3 - 63
-25a = -60
a = \( \frac{-60}{-25} \)
a = 2\(\frac{2}{5}\)
