What is the area of a circle with a radius of 2?

70% Answer Correctly

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π


2

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 2, length (l) = 7, and width (w) = 7. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
162
72
98
80

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 2 x 7 x 7
v = 98


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 9) and (2, -1). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 4
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4
y = -2x + 4
y = 3x - 3

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 4. 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, 9) and (2, -1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-1.0) - (9.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-10}{4} \)
m = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 4

Solution

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

Solve for a:
a2 + 2a - 68 = a + 4

49% Answer Correctly
3 or -5
8 or -9
5 or -7
3 or -9

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

a2 + 2a - 68 = a + 4
a2 + 2a - 68 - 4 = a
a2 + 2a - a - 72 = 0
a2 + a - 72 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

a2 + a - 72 = 0
(a - 8)(a + 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (a - 8) or (a + 9) must equal zero:

If (a - 8) = 0, a must equal 8
If (a + 9) = 0, a must equal -9

So the solution is that a = 8 or -9
