Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?
exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles |
|
area = ½bh |
|
perimeter = sum of side lengths |
|
sum of interior angles = 180° |
A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.
A right angle measures:
90° |
|
360° |
|
45° |
|
180° |
A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.
When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).
vertical, supplementary |
|
obtuse, acute |
|
acute, obtuse |
|
supplementary, vertical |
Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.
equal length |
|
right angle |
|
equal angle |
|
parallel |
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.
