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

58% Answer Correctly

perimeter = sum of side lengths

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°


Solution

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.


2

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

polynomial

monomial

binomial

quadratic


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


3

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

92% Answer Correctly

addition

exponents

division

pairs


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


4

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 10?

70% Answer Correctly
36π
25π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{10}{2} \)
r = 5
a = πr2
a = π(52)
a = 25π


5

If AD = 17 and BD = 10, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
8
7
17
15

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 17 - 10
AB = 7
