A window is 2 feet wide. It's length is twice its width. Find the area of the window. (Hint: drawing a picture will probably help)
- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
Correct Answer
B.

Explanation
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the width of the window is given as 2 feet. The length of the window is stated to be twice its width, which means it is 4 feet. Therefore, the area of the window can be found by multiplying 2 feet (width) by 4 feet (length), resulting in an area of 8 square feet.

A rectangular table cloth has a length of 90 inches and a width of 60 inches. What is the perimeter of the tablecloth?
- A.
  
  5,400cm
- B.
  
  150cm
- C.
  
  300cm
- D.
  
  250cm
Correct Answer
C. 300cm

Explanation
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all four sides. In this case, the length is 90 inches and the width is 60 inches. Therefore, the perimeter would be 2 times the length plus 2 times the width, which is (2 * 90) + (2 * 60) = 180 + 120 = 300 inches.

Find the circumference of the circle.
- A.
  
  8.792cm
- B.
  
  24.618cm
- C.
  
  17.584cm
- D.
  
  25.321cm
Correct Answer
C. 17.584cm

Explanation
The circumference of a circle can be found using the formula C = 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle. In this case, the circumference is given as 17.584cm, which means that the radius of the circle must be approximately 8.792cm (since the radius is half the circumference). Therefore, the given answer is correct.

Rate this question:

- D.
  
  22yd
Correct Answer
A. 20.5yd

Explanation
The radius of a circle is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on its circumference. In this question, the correct answer is 20.5yd, which means that the distance from the center of the circle to any point on its circumference is 20.5 yards.
