The formula to find the circumference, C, of a circle is: • Where r is the radius of the circle and d is the diameter of the circle. • HINT: Area is measured in SQUARE units.  • Do any of the answers have a ‘square’ in them? • So, sorry, A was not the correct response. Please try again. I hope that you figure it out this time. Click HERE to return to THIS problem 9th Grade Math Proficiency Test Geometry Strand 12 problems

  34. 1 B. • The diameter of a circle is the segment that connects two points on a circle and goes through its center. • The diameter is twice as long as the radius, that is, • D = 2r • HINT: Area is measured in SQUARE units.  Do any of the answers have a ‘square’ in them? • So unfortunately B is not the correct response. Please try again. I hope you get it this time. Click HERE to return to THIS problem 9th Grade Math Proficiency Test Geometry Strand 12 problems

  35. 1 C. SUPER!!!! • Area is measured in SQUARE units. Square is the second power as in (Pi r squared) • So, YES, you were absolutely right! Good job. Click HERE to go to the NEXT problem Click HERE to return to THIS problem 9th Grade Math Proficiency Test Geometry Strand 12 problems

  36. 1 D. • The radius is the segment drawn from the center of the circle to a point ON the circle. The radius is half of the diameter. • The radius is also the r in • HINT: Area is measured in SQUARE units.  Do any of the answers have a ‘square’ in them? • So unfortunately D is an incorrect response. Please try again. I think you will get it this time. Click HERE to return to THIS problem 9th Grade Math Proficiency Test Geometry Strand 12 problems

  42. 3 B. AB is a diameter of the circle. AX and XB are radii.How long is AB? And then, how long is either AX or XB? • 1.7 IS very close to the correct answer. But I am not sure how you got 1.7 ??!? Look at the figure at the right and see If you can get it right this time, OK? Click HERE to return to THIS problem 9th Grade Math Proficiency Test Geometry Strand 12 problems

  43. 3 C. AB is a diameter of the circle. AX and XB are radii.How long is AB? And then, how long is either AX or XB? • 2.25 is almost the length of the diameter, AB. • Look at the figure and try It again. You will get it right this time. Click HERE to go to the NEXT problem Click HERE to return to THIS problem 9th Grade Math Proficiency Test Geometry Strand 12 problems

  44. 3 D. AB is a diameter of the circle. AX and XB are radii.How long is AB? And then, how long is either AX or XB? • 3 is the length of the diameter of the circle, not the radius. Remember that the radius in just half of the diameter. • Look at the figure and try it again. Click HERE to return to THIS problem 9th Grade Math Proficiency Test Geometry Strand 12 problems

  45. 4 A. Make a sketch. Recall that perimetermeans ‘distance around.’ • It looks like you found the width to be 6, which is correct. • However, it seems that you added: 7 + 6 to get 13, which is incorrect. • You are asked to find how many SQUARE FEET of glass and that means area. • Area of a rectangle is found by: Length X Width. • You are ready to be correct now. Just do it. Click HERE to return to THIS problem 9th Grade Math Proficiency Test Geometry Strand 12 problems

  46. 4 B. Make a sketch. Recall that perimetermeans ‘distance around.’ • You selected 26 feet, which is the perimeter of the window. • You were asked to find SQUARE FEET which means find the AREA. • My guess is that you found the width to be 6, which is correct. • Now you need to find the AREA of the rectangle. • Please try again. Click HERE to return to THIS problem 9th Grade Math Proficiency Test Geometry Strand 12 problems

  47. 4 C. Make a sketch. Recall that perimetermeans ‘distance around.’ • SUPER! • The width, w, is 6 because: 7 + 7 + 6 + 6 = 26. • Square feet means find area. • Area of a rectangle is found by: Length X Width • So 7 X 6 = 42 SQUARE feet. • Good job!!! Click HERE to go to the NEXT problem Click HERE to return to THIS problem 9th Grade Math Proficiency Test Geometry Strand 12 problems

  48. 4 D. Make a sketch. Recall that perimetermeans ‘distance around.’ • The width turns out to be 6 because 7 + 7 + 6 + 6 = 26. • Area of a rectangle is found by: Length X Width • But 6 X 7 is not 48. ?!??! • Give it another try. You will be correct Click HERE to return to THIS problem 9th Grade Math Proficiency Test Geometry Strand 12 problems

  49. 5 A. Surface Area means the amount of surface covered on the outside of the box. It DOES NOT mean volume. • Notice that the surface of the box is made up of 6 rectangles. • Area of a rectangle: Length X Width • Find the area of each rectangle and add them up. • HINT: Think of a shoe box to help ‘see’ the 6 rectangles. If you thought the answer is 107 square meters, you may have only been thinking of 3 rectangles. Please try again. Click HERE to return to THIS problem 9th Grade Math Proficiency Test Geometry Strand 12 problems

  50. 5 B. Surface Area means the amount of surface covered on the outside of the box. It DOES NOT mean volume. • Notice that the surface of the box is made up of 6 rectangles. • Area of a rectangle: Length X Width • Find the area of each rectangle and add them up. • HINT: Think of a shoe box to help ‘see’ the 6 rectangles.
