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

78% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π r2

a = π d2

a = π d


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, -6) and (2, 4). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1
y = -2x + 3
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 2

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, -6) and (2, 4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(4.0) - (-6.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{10}{4} \)
m = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

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


3

Solve for c:
-9c - 3 < 8 - 8c

55% Answer Correctly
c < \(\frac{3}{4}\)
c < -11
c < -2
c < -\(\frac{3}{5}\)

Solution

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 < sign and the answer on the other.

-9c - 3 < 8 - 8c
-9c < 8 - 8c + 3
-9c + 8c < 8 + 3
-c < 11
c < \( \frac{11}{-1} \)
c < -11


4

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 9, c = 7, d = 3, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
25
24
18
15

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(9 + 3)(4)
a = ½(12)(4)
a = ½(48) = \( \frac{48}{2} \)
a = 24


5

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 5?

70% Answer Correctly
36π
25π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(52)
a = 25π
