Question 1

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 7? (Use π ≈ 3.14)

Accepted Answer

153.86

Answer

Area of a circle = πr² = 3.14 × 7² = 3.14 × 49 = 153.86 square units.

Question 2

Solve for x: 2(x + 3) = 14

Accepted Answer

4

Answer

Distribute: 2x + 6 = 14. Subtract 6: 2x = 8. Divide by 2: x = 4.

Question 3

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with length 5, width 3, and height 4?

Accepted Answer

60

Answer

Volume of a rectangular prism = length × width × height = 5 × 3 × 4 = 60 cubic units.

Question 4

If a shirt originally costs $40 and is on sale for 25% off, what is the sale price?

Accepted Answer

$30

Answer

25% of $40 = $10 discount. Sale price = $40 - $10 = $30. Alternatively, $40 × 0.75 = $30.

Question 5

What is the slope of a line passing through points (2, 3) and (6, 11)?

Accepted Answer

2

Answer

Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (11 - 3)/(6 - 2) = 8/4 = 2.
