Review

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

	3
	4
	5
	2

Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.

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

50% Answer Correctly

	the area of a parallelogram is base x height
	the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides
	opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal
	a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

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).

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

	all interior angles are right angles
	the lengths of all sides are equal
	the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides
	the area is length x width

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).

If a = c = 4, b = d = 1, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly

	18
	4
	72
	35

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 4 x 1
a = 4

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

	you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent
	you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents
	all of these statements are correct
	you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a² - a² = 3a² but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.
