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

58% Answer Correctly

sum of interior angles = 180°

area = ½bh

perimeter = sum of side lengths

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles


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

Solve for b:
-b - 2 > -4 - 9b

55% Answer Correctly
b > -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
b > -\(\frac{5}{8}\)
b > -1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
b > -\(\frac{1}{4}\)

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.

-b - 2 > -4 - 9b
-b > -4 - 9b + 2
-b + 9b > -4 + 2
8b > -2
b > \( \frac{-2}{8} \)
b > -\(\frac{1}{4}\)


3

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

52% Answer Correctly

triangle

quadrilateral

rhombus

trapezoid


Solution

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


4

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 5?

70% Answer Correctly
81π
25π
36π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(52)
a = 25π


5

If AD = 19 and BD = 12, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
14
2
19
7

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 = 19 - 12
AB = 7
