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

50% Answer Correctly

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

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

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral


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).


2

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse

obtuse, acute


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


3

If angle a = 67° and angle b = 27° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
132°
116°
83°
86°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 67° - 27° = 86°


4

Solve for y:
-8y + 5 > \( \frac{y}{-9} \)

44% Answer Correctly
y > -\(\frac{12}{19}\)
y > \(\frac{12}{13}\)
y > \(\frac{45}{71}\)
y > \(\frac{7}{25}\)

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.

-8y + 5 > \( \frac{y}{-9} \)
-9 x (-8y + 5) > y
(-9 x -8y) + (-9 x 5) > y
72y - 45 > y
72y - 45 - y > 0
72y - y > 45
71y > 45
y > \( \frac{45}{71} \)
y > \(\frac{45}{71}\)


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, -7). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
3
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, -7) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-7.0) - (3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-10}{4} \)
m = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
