ASVAB Math Knowledge Practice Test
1 What's the circumference of a circle that has a radius of 8?
A 315.83
B 25.13
C 50.27
D 100.53
2 b8
Solve this equation for a:a=
b4
8
A b4
4
B b8
C b4
D 12b
3 Factor this equation:x2+ 2x- 3
A 2x(x2- 3)
B (x - 3)(x + 1)
C x2 (2 + 3)
D (x + 3)(x - 1)
4 6 yards is how many feet?
A 19.68
B 12
C 18
D 9
5 Which of the following is an obtuse angle?
A 48°
B 138°
C 38°
D 23°
Solutions
1 What's the circumference of a circle that has a radius of 8?
A 315.83
B 25.13
50.27
D 100.53
SOLUTION
The circumference (C) of a circle in terms of the radius of the circle is defined as:
C= 2πr
For this problem, that's:
C50.27
2 b8
Solve this equation for a:a=
b4
8
A b4
4
B b8
b4
D 12b
SOLUTION
When dividing variables with exponents that have the same base (in this case, b), subtract the
exponents to get the correct answer:
8
a= = bb48−4= b4
b
3 Factor this equation:x2+ 2x- 3
A 2x(x2- 3)
B (x - 3)(x + 1)
C x2 (2 + 3)
(x + 3)(x - 1)
SOLUTION
When you cross multiply (x + 3)(x - 1) you getx2− x+ 3x- 3which simplifies to our original
equationx2+ 2x- 3.
4 6 yards is how many feet?
A 19.68
B 12
18
D 9
SOLUTION
There are 3 feet in a yard so there are 3 x 6 = 18 feet in 6 yards.
5 Which of the following is an obtuse angle?
A 48°
138°
C 38°
D 23°
SOLUTION
An obtuse angle is an angle that is greater than 90°. Of these, 138° is the only answer that is
