  1. A1

    A circle has radius 29 cm. What is its diameter?

    Reveal explanation

    Answer: 58 cm

    A diameter joins two radii end to end through the center: 29 + 29 = 58 cm.

  2. A2

    An angle measures 170°. Is it acute, right, or obtuse?

    Reveal explanation

    Answer: obtuse

    Compare 170° with 90°: angles smaller are acute, exactly 90° are right, and larger but less than 180° are obtuse.

    170°
    Angle of 170 degrees; angle size depends on rotation, not ray length.
  3. A3
