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

57% Answer Correctly

area = ½bh

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

sum of interior angles = 180°

perimeter = sum of side lengths


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 7. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
49π
384π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(72 x 1)
v = 49π


3

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% Answer Correctly

circumference

radius

chord

diameter


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).

If the area of this square is 4, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{4} \) = 2

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 22 + 22
c2 = 8
c = \( \sqrt{8} \) = \( \sqrt{4 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{4} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 2\( \sqrt{2} \)


5

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

slope

x-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

y-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.
