|
equilateral and right |
|
isosceles and right |
|

formula |
An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.
Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?
the area is length x width |
|
all interior angles are right angles |
|
the lengths of all sides are equal |
|
the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides |
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).
