What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 18?

71% Answer Correctly
30π
36π
14π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 18)
c = 36π


2

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

75% Answer Correctly

squaring

normalizing

deconstructing

factoring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


3

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π d2

c = π r

c = 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.


4

If a = 6, b = 7, c = 8, and d = 6, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
19
22
12
27

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 6 + 7 + 8 + 6
p = 27


5

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

58% Answer Correctly

perimeter = sum of side lengths

sum of interior angles = 180°

area = ½bh

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.
