1

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 area is length x width

all interior angles are right angles

the lengths of all sides are equal


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

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

origin

all of these

x-axis

y-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


3

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

45°

90°

180°

360°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, -9). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-1
1
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-3

Solution

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, 3) and (2, -9) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-9.0) - (3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-12}{4} \)
m = -3


5

If angle a = 35° and angle b = 44° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
75°
60°
101°
95°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 35° - 44° = 101°
