A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

b - 2 = \( \frac{b}{-6} \)
-6 x (b - 2) = b
(-6 x b) + (-6 x -2) = b
-6b + 12 = b
-6b + 12 - b = 0
-6b - b = -12
-7b = -12
b = \( \frac{-12}{-7} \)
b = 1\(\frac{5}{7}\)

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.

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.

The formula for area is πr². Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{6}{2} \)
r = 3
a = πr²
a = π(3²)
a = 9π
