Mathematics Knowledge Answer

In my book, The ASVAB Tutor’s Mathematics Knowledge Study Guide, I focus on the importance of the formulas that could appear on the Mathematics Knowledge section of the ASVAB.  Geometry is an important topic on this section.  I remind my ASVAB prep students of the importance of knowing the formulas for circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, cylinders, sphere, cubes, and rectangular boxes.

Yesterday I presented a Mathematics Knowledge question.

The question is a geometry question about circles.

The question is:

If the radius of a circle is 15, what is the diameter?

  1. 5
  2. 30
  3. 60
  4. 120

The radius is half the diameter.

If the radius is 15, the diameter is 30.

The correct answer is Choice B. 30.
