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

58% Answer Correctly

area = ½bh

perimeter = sum of side lengths

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

sum of interior angles = 180°


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

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

chord

diameter

radius


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


3

If the base of this triangle is 9 and the height is 8, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
105
36
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)
39

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 9 x 8 = \( \frac{72}{2} \) = 36


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 2. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
32π
343π
72π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(22 x 8)
v = 32π


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 5, length (l) = 5, and width (w) = 7. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
190
236
138
152

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 5 x 7) + (2 x 7 x 5) + (2 x 5 x 5)
sa = (70) + (70) + (50)
sa = 190
