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

57% Answer Correctly

perimeter = sum of side lengths

sum of interior angles = 180°

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

area = ½bh


Solution

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.


2

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

triangle

quadrilateral

rhombus

trapezoid


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


3

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

right angle

equal length

parallel

equal angle


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


4

Simplify (6a)(5ab) - (4a2)(3b).

62% Answer Correctly
-18ab2
77ab2
18a2b
42ab2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(6a)(5ab) - (4a2)(3b)
(6 x 5)(a x a x b) - (4 x 3)(a2 x b)
(30)(a1+1 x b) - (12)(a2b)
30a2b - 12a2b
18a2b


5

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

pairs

division

exponents

addition


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
