Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the lengths of all sides are equal

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

all interior angles are right angles

the area is length x width


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).

Simplify (5a)(8ab) - (7a2)(5b).

63% Answer Correctly
-5ab2
5a2b
156a2b
75a2b

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(5a)(8ab) - (7a2)(5b)
(5 x 8)(a x a x b) - (7 x 5)(a2 x b)
(40)(a1+1 x b) - (35)(a2b)
40a2b - 35a2b
5a2b


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, -7). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-2
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-1
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, -7) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-7.0) - (1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-8}{4} \)
m = -2


4

If a = 2, b = 9, c = 5, and d = 3, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
22
13
23
19

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 2 + 9 + 5 + 3
p = 19


5

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

91% Answer Correctly

origin

y-axis

x-axis

all of these


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.
