Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?
the lengths of all sides are equal |
|
all interior angles are right angles |
|
the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides |
|
the area is length x width |
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).
What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 6?
| 3π | |
| 4π | |
| 9π | |
| 16π |
The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):
r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{6}{2} \)
r = 3
a = πr2
a = π(32)
a = 9π
If the area of this square is 64, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
| 2\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 5\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 8\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{2} \) |
To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:
a = s2
so the length of one side of the square is:
s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) = 8
The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:
c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 82
c2 = 128
c = \( \sqrt{128} \) = \( \sqrt{64 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 8\( \sqrt{2} \)
If the base of this triangle is 9 and the height is 8, what is the area?
| 36 | |
| 31\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| 21 | |
| 77 |
The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:
a = ½bh
a = ½ x 9 x 8 = \( \frac{72}{2} \) = 36
If angle a = 61° and angle b = 28° what is the length of angle d?
| 124° | |
| 128° | |
| 129° | |
| 119° |
An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:
d° = b° + c°
To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 61° - 28° = 91°
So, d° = 28° + 91° = 119°
A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:
a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 61° = 119°
