Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?
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 |
|
the area of a parallelogram is base x height |
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).
If the area of this square is 1, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
| \( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 9\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 3\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 7\( \sqrt{2} \) |
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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{1} \) = 1
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 = 12 + 12
c2 = 2
c = \( \sqrt{2} \)
The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 6. What is the volume?
| 128π | |
| 288π | |
| 245π | |
| 252π |
The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:
v = πr2h
v = π(62 x 8)
v = 288π
If side x = 8cm, side y = 12cm, and side z = 5cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?
| 25cm | |
| 32cm | |
| 29cm | |
| 34cm |
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:
p = x + y + z
p = 8cm + 12cm + 5cm = 25cm
For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?
c - a |
|
c2 + a2 |
|
c2 - a2 |
|
a2 - c2 |
The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)
