Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the lengths of all sides are equal

the area is length x width

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

all interior angles are right angles


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


2

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 1, length (l) = 3, and width (w) = 6. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
150
54
146
180

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 3 x 6) + (2 x 6 x 1) + (2 x 3 x 1)
sa = (36) + (12) + (6)
sa = 54


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -6) and (2, 0). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 2x - 1
y = 3x - 2
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -3. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -6) and (2, 0) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(0.0) - (-6.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{6}{4} \)
m = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3


4

If a = c = 7, b = d = 9, and the blue angle = 67°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
63
8
56
20

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 7 x 9
a = 63


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 7) and (2, 1). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
3
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 7) and (2, 1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(1.0) - (7.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-6}{4} \)
m = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
