What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 12?

71% Answer Correctly
15π
12π
38π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 12π


2

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

63% Answer Correctly
144π
16π
32π
64π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(42 x 4)
v = 64π


3

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

slope

x-intercept

y-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


4

Solve for x:
x2 - 9x + 8 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
9 or -9
-4 or -4
1 or 8
5 or 4

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

x2 - 9x + 8 = 0
(x - 1)(x - 8) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x - 1) or (x - 8) must equal zero:

If (x - 1) = 0, x must equal 1
If (x - 8) = 0, x must equal 8

So the solution is that x = 1 or 8


5

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

78% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π d

a = π d2

a = π r


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.
