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

49% Answer Correctly

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

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

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal


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

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 2 and radius (r) = 8. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
16π
224π
160π
104π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(82) + 2π(8 x 2)
sa = 2π(64) + 2π(16)
sa = (2 x 64)π + (2 x 16)π
sa = 128π + 32π
sa = 160π


3

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

acute, obtuse

supplementary, vertical

obtuse, acute


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


4

If side a = 4, side b = 9, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{18} \)
\( \sqrt{5} \)
\( \sqrt{41} \)
\( \sqrt{97} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 92
c2 = 16 + 81
c2 = 97
c = \( \sqrt{97} \)


5

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 = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3
y = 3x - 3
y = 2x - 4

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
