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

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

equal angle

equal length

parallel

right angle


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


3

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

91% Answer Correctly

addition

division

pairs

exponents


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.)

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If y° = 151, what is the value of w°?

73% Answer Correctly
29
30
140
154

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other
  • same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°)

Applying these relationships starting with y° = 151, the value of w° is 29.

If side x = 14cm, side y = 11cm, and side z = 9cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
31cm
25cm
34cm
27cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 14cm + 11cm + 9cm = 34cm
