  • 2. 

    A segment that has one endpoint at the center and the other endpoint on the circle.

    • Circumference

    • Area

    • Polygon

    • Radius

    Correct Answer
    A. Radius
    Explanation
    A radius is a segment that has one endpoint at the center of a circle and the other endpoint on the circle itself. It represents the distance from the center of the circle to any point on the circle's circumference.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    What is 3.14 or 22/7 called?

    • Natural Number

    • Pi

    • Whole Number

    • Prime Number

    Correct Answer
    A. Pi
    Explanation
    Pi (π) is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It is an irrational number, meaning it cannot be exactly expressed as a simple fraction, but 22/7 is a common approximation. The decimal representation of π is approximately 3.14159, and it continues infinitely without repeating.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    The distance around a circle.

    • Perimeter

    • Circumference

    • Area

    • Volume

    Correct Answer
    A. Circumference
    Explanation
    The term "circumference" refers to the distance around a circle. It is the measurement of the outer boundary of a circle. This term is specifically used to describe the length of the boundary of a circle and is different from other measurements like area or volume, which are used to describe the space inside or occupied by the circle. Therefore, "circumference" is the correct answer in this case.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Closed 2-dimensional shapes made up of 8 straight lines with opposite sides equal and angles of 135 degrees.

    • Square

    • Regular Octagon

    • Parallelogram

    • Rhombus

    Correct Answer
    A. Regular Octagon
    Explanation
    A regular octagon is a closed 2-dimensional shape with eight straight sides of equal length and eight equal angles of 135 degrees each. The term octagon can refer to any eight-sided polygon, but a regular octagon specifically has all sides and angles equal.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The space inside of a 2D shape.

    • Perimeter

    • Area

    • Circumference

    • Volume

    Correct Answer
    A. Area
    Explanation
    The area of a 2D shape refers to the space enclosed by the shape. It is a measure of the surface covered by the shape and is typically expressed in square units. The area can be calculated by multiplying the length and width of the shape for regular shapes like rectangles and squares, or by using specific formulas for irregular shapes like triangles and circles. The concept of area is important in various fields such as geometry, architecture, and physics, as it helps determine the amount of material needed or the amount of space occupied by an object.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The set of all points in a plane that are the same distance from a given point, called the center.

    • Circle

    • Radius

    • Square

    • Line

    Correct Answer
    A. Circle
    Explanation
    A circle is defined as the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a given point called the center. This means that any point on the circle is the same distance away from the center. Therefore, the correct answer is circle.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    "Closed" 2-dimensional shapes made up of 6 straight lines with all sides and angles of equal measure.

    • Cuboid

    • Septagon

    • Regular Hexagon

    • Triangular prism

    Correct Answer
    A. Regular Hexagon
    Explanation
    A regular hexagon is a polygon with six equal sides and six equal angles. Each internal angle of a regular hexagon is 120 degrees, and the sum of all internal angles is 720 degrees. A regular hexagon has rotational symmetry and six lines of reflectional symmetry. It is a common shape in nature and man-made structures, often seen in honeycombs and tiling patterns. The name "hexagon" comes from the Greek words "hex," meaning six, and "gonia," meaning angle.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    "Closed" 2-dimensional shapes made up of 8 straight lines.

    • Triangle

    • Polygon

    • Rectagle

    • Octagon

    Correct Answer
    A. Octagon
    Explanation
    An octagon is a polygon with eight sides and eight angles. It is a closed two-dimensional shape, meaning all its sides are connected, forming a boundary that encloses an area. The most well-known type of octagon is the regular octagon, where all sides and angles are equal. Each internal angle of a regular octagon measures 135 degrees, and the sum of all internal angles is 1080 degrees. Octagons can be found in various applications, such as architecture (e.g., stop signs) and design. The name "octagon" comes from the Greek words "okto," meaning eight, and "gonia," meaning angle.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Closed 2-dimensional shapes made up of 5 straight lines with all sides and angles of equal measure.

    • Pentagon

    • Hexagon

    • Decagon

    • Regular Pentagon

    Correct Answer
    A. Regular Pentagon
    Explanation
    A regular pentagon is a closed 2-dimensional shape with five straight sides of equal length and five equal angles of 108 degrees each. A pentagon in general does not necessarily have equal sides and angles unless specified as regular.
