Mathematics Knowledge Question
In teaching my ASVAB prep course, I spend the majority of class time presenting lessons on the two math sections of the ASVAB. The two math sections of the ASVAB are Arithmetic Reasoning and Mathematics Knowledge. Today I present a Mathematics Knowledge question. Most of the questions in the Mathematics Knowledge section are algebra or geometry.
Today’s question is a geometry question. The question is about a circle.
The question is:
If the circumference of a circle is 10 pi, what is the area?
- 5 pi
- 10 pi
- 25 pi
- 100 pi
In order to answer this question, it is necessary to know the formulas for the circumference of a circle and the area of a circle.
I remind my students of the importance of knowing the various formulas for the different shapes in geometry. I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
