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

57% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths

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.

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 8, length (l) = 1, and width (w) = 9. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
10
178
192
240

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 1 x 9) + (2 x 9 x 8) + (2 x 1 x 8)
sa = (18) + (144) + (16)
sa = 178


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 6. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
45π
324π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(62 x 9)
v = 324π


4

If a = c = 4, b = d = 9, and the blue angle = 62°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
35
36
24
6

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 4 x 9
a = 36

Solve -9a - 2a = -8a + 3y - 5 for a in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
-3\(\frac{1}{4}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
-5y + 5
-y - 2
10y + 4

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (a) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-9a - 2y = -8a + 3y - 5
-9a = -8a + 3y - 5 + 2y
-9a + 8a = 3y - 5 + 2y
-a = 5y - 5
a = \( \frac{5y - 5}{-1} \)
a = \( \frac{5y}{-1} \) + \( \frac{-5}{-1} \)
a = -5y + 5
