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

49% Answer Correctly

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

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

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).


3

What is 7a2 + 8a2?

75% Answer Correctly
56a2
15a2
15a4
a24

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

7a2 + 8a2 = 15a2


4

Simplify (y - 9)(y - 7)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 + 16y + 63
y2 + 2y - 63
y2 - 2y - 63
y2 - 16y + 63

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 - 9)(y - 7)
(y x y) + (y x -7) + (-9 x y) + (-9 x -7)
y2 - 7y - 9y + 63
y2 - 16y + 63


5

If a = c = 4, b = d = 8, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
72
32
56
21

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 4 x 8
a = 32
