Solve for c:
-6c + 2 < 1 + 5c

55% Answer Correctly
c < -\(\frac{1}{2}\)
c < \(\frac{1}{4}\)
c < \(\frac{1}{11}\)
c < -\(\frac{1}{6}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

-6c + 2 < 1 + 5c
-6c < 1 + 5c - 2
-6c - 5c < 1 - 2
-11c < -1
c < \( \frac{-1}{-11} \)
c < \(\frac{1}{11}\)


2

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

50% Answer Correctly

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

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).


3

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

57% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

sum of interior angles = 180°

area = ½bh

perimeter = sum of side lengths


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.


4

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

51% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

triangle

rhombus

quadrilateral


Solution

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


5

If BD = 13 and AD = 17, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
8
19
4
16

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 17 - 13
AB = 4
