Test yourself first: 5 questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 5 (use π ≈ 3.14)?
Answer: B. Circumference = 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 5 = 31.4.
Question 2 of 5
What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 10 (use π ≈ 3.14)?
Answer: B. Circumference = π × diameter = 3.14 × 10 = 31.4.
Question 3 of 5
What is the perimeter of a rectangle that is 10 cm long and 4 cm wide?
Answer: B. Perimeter = 2(length + width) = 2(10 + 4) = 28 cm.
Question 4 of 5
The perimeter of a triangle with sides 5, 6, and 7 is:
Answer: A. Perimeter = sum of all sides = 5 + 6 + 7 = 18.
Question 5 of 5
What is the perimeter of a rectangle 9 m by 5 m?
Answer: B. Perimeter = 2(9 + 5) = 2(14) = 28 m.
