Geometry and Trigonometry practice question

A circle has an area of 49π. What is the length of its diameter?

Answer: 14

πr² = 49π gives r² = 49, so r = 7. The diameter is 2r = 14.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 7
7 is the radius. The diameter is twice the radius.
If you answered 49
49 is r², not a length.
If you answered 98
98 is 2 × 49, doubling r² instead of r.
