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

63% Answer Correctly

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

the lengths of all sides are equal

all interior angles are right angles

the area is length x width


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

If BD = 8 and AD = 13, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
15
17
5
6

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 13 - 8
AB = 5


3

Simplify (y - 4)(y + 2)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 - 2y - 8
y2 - 6y + 8
y2 + 6y + 8
y2 + 2y - 8

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y - 4)(y + 2)
(y x y) + (y x 2) + (-4 x y) + (-4 x 2)
y2 + 2y - 4y - 8
y2 - 2y - 8

Solve for x:
-6x + 9 < 4 + 6x

55% Answer Correctly
x < \(\frac{7}{9}\)
x < -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
x < \(\frac{2}{3}\)
x < \(\frac{5}{12}\)

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.

-6x + 9 < 4 + 6x
-6x < 4 + 6x - 9
-6x - 6x < 4 - 9
-12x < -5
x < \( \frac{-5}{-12} \)
x < \(\frac{5}{12}\)

right angle


Solution

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