Mathematics Knowledge

Geometry is an important part of the Mathematics Knowledge section of the test.  In working as an ASVAB tutor, I provide my students with the formulas they need to memorize for this section of the test.

Today I present a Mathematics Knowledge question.

The question if on geometry and asks about a circle.

The question is:

If the area of a circle is 9p, what is the circumference?

A. 42

B. 84

C. 26

D. 52

To know how to solve this problem, you need to know a few different things.

You need to know the value of p.

You need to know the formula for the area of a circle.

You need to know the formula for circumference of a circle.

Do you know how to solve this problem?  I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
