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

57% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°

perimeter = sum of side lengths


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

If a = 2, b = 1, c = 3, and d = 6, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
25
23
12
13

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 2 + 1 + 3 + 6
p = 12


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 5, length (l) = 1, and width (w) = 9. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
392
81
45
2

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 5 x 1 x 9
v = 45


4

Solve for z:
z - 5 > -8 - 8z

55% Answer Correctly
z > -7
z > -\(\frac{1}{3}\)
z > 2
z > -\(\frac{1}{7}\)

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 > sign and the answer on the other.

z - 5 > -8 - 8z
z > -8 - 8z + 5
z + 8z > -8 + 5
9z > -3
z > \( \frac{-3}{9} \)
z > -\(\frac{1}{3}\)


5

Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.
