A jar contains 25 marbles. 11 of them are red and the rest are blue. If one marble is drawn at random, what is the probability it is red?
A11/25
B12/25
C14/25
D11/14
Explanation
P(red) = favorable / total = 11/25 = 11/25 in simplest form.

The circle shown has a radius of 11. What is the area of the circle, in terms of π?
A11π
B22π
C242π
D121π
Explanation
Area = πr² = π(11)² = 121π. (Don't confuse with circumference 2πr.)

The triangle shown has a base of 12 and a height of 3. What is its area?
A16
B30
C36
D18
Explanation
Area = ½ × base × height = ½ × 12 × 3 = 18.

In the right triangle shown, the hypotenuse has length 52 and one leg has length 20. What is the length of the other leg?
A44
B48
C45
D46
Explanation
By the Pythagorean theorem: b² = c² − a² = 52² − 20² = 2704 − 400 = 2304. So b = √2304 = 48.

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF, shown below. Side AB has length 8 and corresponds to side DE of length 40. If side BC has length 7, what is the length of side EF?
A12
B42
C35
D15
Explanation
Similar triangles have proportional sides. Scale factor = DE/AB = 40/8 = 5. So EF = BC × 5 = 7 × 5 = 35.
