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

50% Answer Correctly

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

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

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).

Solve for y:
-8y + 8 = \( \frac{y}{1} \)

46% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{8}{9}\)
\(\frac{21}{62}\)
-1\(\frac{2}{25}\)
-\(\frac{1}{10}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

-8y + 8 = \( \frac{y}{1} \)
1 x (-8y + 8) = y
(1 x -8y) + (1 x 8) = y
-8y + 8 = y
-8y + 8 - y = 0
-8y - y = -8
-9y = -8
y = \( \frac{-8}{-9} \)
y = \(\frac{8}{9}\)


3

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral and right

isosceles and right

equilateral, isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


4

If a = 6, b = 8, c = 5, and d = 5, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
18
21
24
25

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 6 + 8 + 5 + 5
p = 24


5

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 12?

71% Answer Correctly
20π
24π
16π
17π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 12)
c = 24π
