Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the area is length x width

all interior angles are right angles

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the lengths of all sides are equal


Solution

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).

Solve for c:
-5c - 2 < 8 - 6c

55% Answer Correctly
c < \(\frac{1}{6}\)
c < 10
c < \(\frac{1}{3}\)
c < -1\(\frac{4}{5}\)

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.

-5c - 2 < 8 - 6c
-5c < 8 - 6c + 2
-5c + 6c < 8 + 2
c < 10


3

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

parallel

equal angle

right angle

equal length


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 4. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
66π
96π
14π
48π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(42) + 2π(4 x 8)
sa = 2π(16) + 2π(32)
sa = (2 x 16)π + (2 x 32)π
sa = 32π + 64π
sa = 96π


5

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

all of these statements are correct

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.
