The total length around the border of a closed shape is called its:

  1. Area
  2. Perimeter
  3. Volume
  4. Radius
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Perimeter

Perimeter is the distance around the boundary of a shape. A small insect walking once around the border, without turning back, would cover the perimeter. **SI unit:** metre (or any length unit).

The perimeter of a rectangle with length a and width b is:

  1. a + b
  2. ab
  3. 2(a + b)
  4. 2ab
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. 2(a + b)

A rectangle has two equal pairs of opposite sides — length a and width b. Perimeter = a + b + a + b = 2(a + b). For a square (special case with a = b), this becomes 4a.

The Greek letter that represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter is:

  1. α (alpha)
  2. β (beta)
  3. π (pi)
  4. σ (sigma)
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. π (pi)

π (pi) is the ratio C/D, the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter. It is irrational (~3.14159…) and the same for ALL circles, regardless of size.
