Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?
area = ½bh |
|
exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles |
|
perimeter = sum of side lengths |
|
sum of interior angles = 180° |
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.
The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?
lw x wh + lh |
|
h2 x l2 x w2 |
|
2lw x 2wh + 2lh |
|
h x l x w |
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.
The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 5) and (2, -7). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?
| y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3 | |
| y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3 | |
| y = -3x - 1 | |
| y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 0 |
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 -1. 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, 5) and (2, -7) so the slope becomes:
m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-7.0) - (5.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-12}{4} \)Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:
y = -3x - 1
Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?
a parallelogram is a quadrilateral |
|
the area of a parallelogram is base x height |
|
opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal |
|
the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides |
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).
What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 9?
| 38π | |
| 12π | |
| 9π | |
| 6π |
The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:
c = πd
c = 9π
