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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r2

c = π d2

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) = 1. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
60π
240π
108π
10π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(12) + 2π(1 x 4)
sa = 2π(1) + 2π(4)
sa = (2 x 1)π + (2 x 4)π
sa = 2π + 8π
sa = 10π


3

Solve for b:
4b - 2 > 8 + 8b

54% Answer Correctly
b > -1
b > -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
b > \(\frac{1}{8}\)
b > 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

4b - 2 > 8 + 8b
4b > 8 + 8b + 2
4b - 8b > 8 + 2
-4b > 10
b > \( \frac{10}{-4} \)
b > -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

If angle a = 69° and angle b = 24° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
133°
116°
111°
148°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 69° - 24° = 87°

So, d° = 24° + 87° = 111°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 69° = 111°


5

Solve -5b + b = 9b - 7y + 3 for b in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{3}{7}\)y + \(\frac{4}{7}\)
y + \(\frac{9}{17}\)
\(\frac{4}{7}\)y - \(\frac{3}{14}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 2

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.

-5b + y = 9b - 7y + 3
-5b = 9b - 7y + 3 - y
-5b - 9b = -7y + 3 - y
-14b = -8y + 3
b = \( \frac{-8y + 3}{-14} \)
b = \( \frac{-8y}{-14} \) + \( \frac{3}{-14} \)
b = \(\frac{4}{7}\)y - \(\frac{3}{14}\)
