Area And Circumference Quiz! Math Trivia - Quiz

Today in this quiz, we are going to focus on the circumference of a circle. The formula for getting the circumference of a circle is somehow similar to finding its area. Do they get you all confused, or do you know how to get the solutions when asked? The best way to test out how true your answer is will be through you taking this quiz. Give it a shot and see how much more practice you might need. All the best!

Questions and Answers

1.

If you wanted to find the distance around a triangle or a square, what would you be looking for?
- A.
  
  Area
- B.
  
  Circumference
- C.
  
  Perimeter
- D.
  
  Space
Correct Answer
C. Perimeter

Explanation
To find the distance around a triangle or a square, you would be looking for the perimeter. The perimeter is the total length of all the sides of a shape. It is used to measure the distance around closed figures like triangles and squares. The area, on the other hand, is the measure of the space inside a shape, not the distance around it. Circumference is specifically used for measuring the distance around a circle. Space is a more general term and does not specifically refer to the distance around a shape.

A parallelogram has an area of 75 square feet. Find the base if the height is 3 feet.
- A.
  
  25 ft
- B.
  
  5 ft
- C.
  
  35 ft
- D.
  
  45.5 ft
Correct Answer
A. 25 ft

Explanation
The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula A = base * height. In this case, the area is given as 75 square feet and the height is given as 3 feet. To find the base, we can rearrange the formula and solve for it: base = A / height = 75 / 3 = 25 feet. Therefore, the base of the parallelogram is 25 feet.

Find the perimeter of a square that has one side measuring 5 cm.
- A.
  
  13 cm
- B.
  
  10 cm
- C.
  
  20 cm
- D.
  
  15 cm
Correct Answer
C. 20 cm

Explanation
The perimeter of a square is calculated by multiplying the length of one side by 4. In this case, the length of one side is given as 5 cm. Therefore, the perimeter of the square would be 5 cm x 4 = 20 cm.

Find the area of a triangle whose base measures 8 feet and whose height measures 5 feet.
- A.
  
  20 square feet
- B.
  
  40 square feet
- C.
  
  13 square feet
- D.
  
  10 square feet
Correct Answer
A. 20 square feet

Explanation
The area of a triangle is calculated by multiplying the base by the height and dividing the result by 2. In this case, the base measures 8 feet and the height measures 5 feet. Therefore, the area is (8 * 5) / 2 = 40 / 2 = 20 square feet.

A clock has a radius of 5 inches. Which expression could be used to find the circumference of the clock?
- A.
  
  5 times pi
- B.
  
  10 times pi
- C.
  
  25 times pi
- D.
  
  5 divided by pi
Correct Answer
B. 10 times pi

Explanation
The circumference of a circle is calculated by multiplying the radius by 2π. In this case, since the radius of the clock is given as 5 inches, multiplying it by 2π will give us the circumference. Therefore, the expression "10 times pi" is correct as it represents the calculation of the circumference of the clock.

Rate this question:
6.

How do you find the circumference of a circle?
- A.
  
  Base x height
- B.
  
  Pi x radius
- C.
  
  Pi x diameter
- D.
  
  Pi x radius x radius
Correct Answer
C. Pi x diameter

Explanation
To find the circumference of a circle, you need to multiply the value of pi by the diameter of the circle. The diameter is the distance across the circle passing through the center. Since the circumference is the total distance around the circle, multiplying pi by the diameter gives you the correct answer.

Rate this question:
7.

How do you find the area of a circle?
- A.
  
  Pi x diameter
- B.
  
  Pi x circumference
- C.
  
  Pi x radius
- D.
  
  Pi x radius x radius
Correct Answer
D. Pi x radius x radius

Explanation
The formula for finding the area of a circle is pi multiplied by the radius squared. This is because the area of a circle is equal to the product of pi (approximately 3.14159) and the square of the radius. The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on its circumference. By squaring the radius and multiplying it by pi, we can calculate the total area enclosed by the circle.

How do you find the area of a triangle?
- A.
  
  1/2 base x height
- B.
  
  Base x height
- C.
  
  Base + height
- D.
  
  Base/height
Correct Answer
A. 1/2 base x height

Explanation
To find the area of a triangle, you multiply the base of the triangle by its height and then divide the result by 2. This is because the area of a triangle is equal to half the product of its base and height. Therefore, the correct answer is 1/2 base x height.

How do you find the area of a rectangle?
- A.
  
  Length x width
- B.
  
  1/2 length x width
- C.
  
  Diameter x width
- D.
  
  Radius x width
Correct Answer
A. Length x width

Explanation
To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length of the rectangle by its width. This is because the area of a rectangle is equal to the product of its length and width.

Rate this question:
10.

How do you find the area of a square?
- A.
  
  Add all the sides
- B.
  
  Side x 4
- C.
  
  Side x side
- D.
  
  Side x side x side
Correct Answer
C. Side x side

Explanation
To find the area of a square, you multiply the length of one side by itself. This is because all sides of a square are equal in length. So, by multiplying the length of one side (side) by itself, you get the area of the square.
