Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?
area = ½bh |
|
sum of interior angles = 180° |
|
perimeter = sum of side lengths |
|
exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles |
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.
If the area of this square is 64, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
| 5\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 8\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 9\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 4\( \sqrt{2} \) |
To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:
a = s2
so the length of one side of the square is:
s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) = 8
The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:
c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 82
c2 = 128
c = \( \sqrt{128} \) = \( \sqrt{64 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 8\( \sqrt{2} \)
The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?
c = π d2 |
|
c = π r2 |
|
c = π d |
|
c = π r |
The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.
On this circle, line segment CD is the:
circumference |
|
chord |
|
radius |
|
diameter |
A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:
