Example Questions

Example Question #13 : How To Find Length Of A Line

The point  lies on a circle. What is the approximate length of the radius of the circle if the center is 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Because the radius is the distance from center to any point on a circle, the distance formula is used to find the measurement of the radius.

Example Question #82 : Geometry

If the diameter of a circle is , then what is  of the circle's radius?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Radius is  of the diameter.

If the diameter is , then the radius is 

Therefore

 of  is,

.

Example Question #11 : Lines

Find the slope of a line that passes through  and .

Possible Answers:

The slope is undefined.

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Use the slope formula to solve:

Given the following points.

The slope can be calculated as follows.

Because the  coordinates were the same for points A and B, this would form a horizontal line.  The slope of any horizontal line is 

Example Question #12 : Lines

Find the length of a line from the point  to the point .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Find the length of a line from the point  to the point .

To find this distance, we need to use distance formula (which is really similar to Pythagorean Theorem)

Distance formula is as follows

Where our x's and y's come from our ordered pairs.

So, let's plug and chug

Simplify

So our answer is 30.4

Example Question #21 : Lines

What is the length of a line segment with end points  and ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The length of a line segment can be determined using the distance formula:

Example Question #91 : Geometry

Prism

Give the volume of the above box in cubic centimeters.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

100 centimeters make one meter, so convert each of the dimensions of the box by multiplying by 100.

 centimeters

 centimeters

Use the volume formula, substituting :

 cubic centimeters

Example Question #92 : Geometry

A cube made of nickel has sidelength 20 centimeters, Nickel has a density of 8.9 grams per cubic centimeter. What is the mass of this cube?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The volume of the cube is  cubic centimeters. Multiply by the number of grams per cubic centimeter to get  grams, or  kilograms.

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Volume Of A Net

A rectangular prism has length 24 inches, width 18 inches, and height 15 inches. Give its volume in cubic feet.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Divide each dimension in inches by 12 to convert from inches to feet:

 feet

 feet

 feet

Multiply the three to get the volume:

 cubic feet

Example Question #93 : Geometry

Prism

Give the volume of the box in cubic inches.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Use the volume formula, substituting  :

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Volume Of A Net

Swimming_pool

One cubic foot is equal to (about) 7.5 gallons.

The above depicts a rectangular swimming pool for an apartment. The pool is seven feet deep everywhere. How many gallons of water does the pool hold?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The pool can be seen as a rectangular prism with dimensions 50 feet by 35 feet by 7 feet; its volume in cubic feet the product of these dimensions, which is 

 cubic feet.

One cubic foot is equal to about 7.5 gallons, so multiply:

 gallons.
