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

63% Answer Correctly

all interior angles are right angles

the area is length x width

the lengths of all sides are equal

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


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).


2

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


3

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

76% Answer Correctly

formula

problem

expression

equation


Solution

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.


4

If a = c = 6, b = d = 9, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
36
54
6
48

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 6 x 9
a = 54


5

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

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

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


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.
