A circle has an area of 169 π in2. Which of the following is the circumference of the circle in terms of pi ( )?

A. 13 π in

B. 26 π in

C. 7.5 π in

D. 20 π in

Answer Explanation:

We need to find the radius of the circle in order to find circumference of the circle. If we let r to be radius of the circle, then

Substituting 169π in place of area

Dividing both sides by pi and taking square root on both sides yields

The radius of the circle from the given area is 13 in. and the circumference of the circle is given by the relation:

Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.

Q #1: A recipe calls for 3 teaspoons of vanilla. 1 teaspoon equals approximately 4.93 mL. Which of the following is the correct amount of vanilla in mL?

A. 34.33 mL

B. 9.58 mL

C. 10.49 mL

D. 14.79 mL

Answer Explanation

To find the amount of vanilla in mL, use dimensional analysis of the units of measurements.

Two ways to convert between teaspoon and mL are:

Since we are required to find the amount in mL, we use a cionverstioon that will result in mL. Inspecting the above options, we use the second option and set up an equation in way the unwanted units cancel out and leave the wanted unit we are looking for. Then,

Thus, a recipe of 3 teaspoons equals 14.79 mL.
Q #2: Which of the following is the value of x in the equation below

A. x= -4 or x=2

B. x= -2 or x=3

C. x =-2 or x= 4

D. x= -2 or x= 1

Answer Explanation

we find the value of x by applying the absolute conditions to the given equation.

First, add 2 to both sides of equation

The absolute conditions are:

If , a>0, then u=a or u=-a

In this case a=10, which is greater 0.

The first condition becomes

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

Divide both sides by 4

The second condition becomes

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

Divide both sides by 4

Then, the value of x is 3 or -2.
Q #3: Japheth’s uncle is 10 less than three times Japheth’s age. Which of the equations represents Japheth’s uncle’s age (u) as it relates to Japheth’s age (k)?

A. u=10-3k

B. u=3k-10

C. k=3u-10

D. k=10-3u

Answer Explanation

We are asked to determine Japheth’s uncle’s age relating to Japheth’s age.

First, express Japheth’s uncle’s age in terms of Japheth’s age as follows

Japheth’s age=k

Japheth’s uncle’s age, u = 3k-10.

Thus, the relationship between Japheth’s uncle’s age to that of Japheth is u=3k-10.
