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

76% Answer Correctly

a = π d

a = π d2

a = π r

a = π r2


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.

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If c° = 39, what is the value of d°?

73% Answer Correctly
21
16
14
141

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 c° = 39, the value of d° is 141.

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

radius

chord

diameter


Solution

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).


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 7. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
729π
343π
294π
54π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(72 x 7)
v = 343π


5

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the area is length x width

the lengths of all sides are equal

all interior angles are right angles


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
