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

49% Answer Correctly

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

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

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral


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).


2

If c = -3 and y = -9, what is the value of -8c(c - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
144
0
160
360

Solution

To solve this equation, 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.)

-8c(c - y)
-8(-3)(-3 + 9)
-8(-3)(6)
(24)(6)
144


3

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

normalizing

factoring

deconstructing

squaring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


4

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

h x l x w

lw x wh + lh

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h2 x l2 x w2


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


5

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

87% Answer Correctly

division

pairs

addition

exponents


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.)
