Which equation represents a circle with center (2, −3) and radius 4?
Answer: (x−2)² + (y+3)² = 16
Standard form is (x−h)² + (y−k)² = r²; with (h,k)=(2,−3) and r=4, this gives (x−2)² + (y+3)² = 16.
What is the surface area of a cube with side length 3?
Answer: 54
A cube has 6 square faces; SA = 6s² = 6(3²) = 54.
An inscribed angle intercepts an arc of 100°. What is the measure of the inscribed angle?
Answer: 50°
The inscribed angle theorem states an inscribed angle equals half its intercepted arc: 100° ÷ 2 = 50°.
In right triangle ABC, AB = 7, BC = 24, and angle B = 90°. What is sin(A)?
Answer: 24/25
Hypotenuse AC = √(7²+24²) = √625 = 25; sin(A) = opposite/hypotenuse = BC/AC = 24/25.
A right cone has a base radius of 3 and a height of 4. What is its volume?
Answer: 12π
Volume of a cone = (1/3)πr²h = (1/3)π(9)(4) = 12π.
A triangle has vertices at (0, 0), (4, 0), and (0, 3). What is its area?
Answer: 6
This is a right triangle with legs 4 and 3; Area = (1/2)(4)(3) = 6.
What is the value of cos(60°)?
Answer: 1/2
cos(60°) = 1/2, a standard value derived from the 30-60-90 triangle or the unit circle.
