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

49% Answer Correctly

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

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


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).

Simplify 3a x 4b.

85% Answer Correctly
12ab
12a2b2
12\( \frac{b}{a} \)
7ab

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

3a x 4b = (3 x 4) (a x b) = 12ab


3

If c = -2 and y = -3, what is the value of -7c(c - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
14
315
408
-32

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

-7c(c - y)
-7(-2)(-2 + 3)
-7(-2)(1)
(14)(1)
14


4

Solve 4c + 9c = 3c + 7y + 7 for c in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - \(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{3}{4}\)y - \(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{2}{11}\)y + \(\frac{2}{11}\)
-2y + 7

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

4c + 9y = 3c + 7y + 7
4c = 3c + 7y + 7 - 9y
4c - 3c = 7y + 7 - 9y
c = -2y + 7

If side x = 12cm, side y = 13cm, and side z = 9cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
26cm
34cm
25cm
39cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 12cm + 13cm + 9cm = 34cm
