Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

49% Answer Correctly

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the area of a parallelogram is base x height


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


2

Simplify (y - 3)(y - 6)

62% Answer Correctly
y2 - 3y - 18
y2 + 9y + 18
y2 + 3y - 18
y2 - 9y + 18

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y - 3)(y - 6)
(y x y) + (y x -6) + (-3 x y) + (-3 x -6)
y2 - 6y - 3y + 18
y2 - 9y + 18


3

If a = c = 9, b = d = 1, and the blue angle = 77°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
9
8
1
14

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 9 x 1
a = 9


4

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse

supplementary, vertical


Solution

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).


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 3. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
128π
12π
27π
81π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(32 x 9)
v = 81π
