A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.
trapezoid |
|
triangle |
|
rhombus |
|
quadrilateral |
A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.
Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?
all acute angles equal each other |
|
all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles |
|
same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other |
|
angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles |
Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other. Same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°).
If a = 7, b = 2, c = 2, and d = 5, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?
| 21 | |
| 16 | |
| 18 | |
| 14 |
Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:
p = a + b + c + d
p = 7 + 2 + 2 + 5
p = 16
This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If y° = 163, what is the value of x°?
| 154 | |
| 155 | |
| 22 | |
| 163 |
For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:
Applying these relationships starting with y° = 163, the value of x° is 163.
Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?
opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal |
|
a parallelogram is a quadrilateral |
|
the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides |
|
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).
