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

63% Answer Correctly

the lengths of all sides are equal

the area is length x width

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

all interior angles are right angles


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).


2

What is 8a2 - 4a2?

73% Answer Correctly
32a2
32a4
4a2
12a4

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.

8a2 - 4a2 = 4a2


3

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

midpoints

bisects

trisects

intersects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


4

If the base of this triangle is 5 and the height is 4, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
67\(\frac{1}{2}\)
10
24\(\frac{1}{2}\)
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 5 x 4 = \( \frac{20}{2} \) = 10


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 8, length (l) = 8, and width (w) = 2. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
128
54
378
105

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 8 x 8 x 2
v = 128
