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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π d2

c = π r2

c = 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.


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -4) and (2, 2). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 4
y = x + 0
y = 2x + 0

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -1. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -4) and (2, 2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(2.0) - (-4.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{6}{4} \)
m = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1


3

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

89% Answer Correctly

x-axis

y-axis

origin

all of these


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


4

If side x = 13cm, side y = 8cm, and side z = 11cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
25cm
32cm
35cm
27cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 13cm + 8cm + 11cm = 32cm


5

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse

obtuse, acute

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).
