Question 12345 of 5

Question 1 of 5

A circular garden has a radius of 6 feet. A gardener wants to cover the entire garden with mulch that costs \pi

Explanation

First find the area of the circular garden. The area of a circle is given by . With radius , the area is square feet. Since the mulch costs dollars per square foot, multiply the area by : . So the total cost is dollars.

Concept summary

For a real-world area problem involving a circle, first use to find the area, then apply the rate or cost per square unit.

Question 2 of 5

The area of a rectangle is square inches. If the length of the rectangle is times its width, what is the perimeter of the rectangle, in inches?

Explanation

Let the width be inches. Then the length is inches. The area is width times length, so . This gives , so and because a width must be positive. Then the length is . The perimeter is . So the correct answer is .

Concept summary

Use the area formula for a rectangle to write an equation, solve for the missing side length, and then use the perimeter formula with both dimensions.

Question 3 of 5

A circle has radius . Which expression is equivalent to the area, in square units, of a semicircle with the same radius?

Explanation

The area of a full circle with radius is . A semicircle is half of a circle, so divide that area by 2:

Therefore, the equivalent expression is .

Concept summary

Area of a circle is . For part of a circle, multiply that area by the fraction of the circle represented.

Question 4 of 5

In the coordinate plane, a rectangle has vertices at , , , and . What is the area of the rectangle?

Explanation

The horizontal side length is the difference between the -coordinates: . The vertical side length is the difference between the -coordinates: . The area of a rectangle is length times width, so the area is square units. Therefore, the correct answer is .

Concept summary

For a rectangle on the coordinate plane, find each side length by subtracting coordinates, then multiply the length and width to get the area.

Question 5 of 5

A rectangular patio has perimeter 30 feet. If the length is 3 feet greater than the width, what is the area of the patio, in square feet?

Explanation

Let the width be feet. Then the length is feet. The perimeter of a rectangle is , so

Simplify:

Then the length is . The area is

So the correct answer is .

Concept summary

Use the perimeter formula to set up an equation for the rectangle's dimensions, then use those dimensions in the area formula.
