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

57% Answer Correctly

perimeter = sum of side lengths

sum of interior angles = 180°

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

area = ½bh


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

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

50% Answer Correctly

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

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

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the area of a parallelogram is base x height


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).


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 5. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
98π
175π
512π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(52 x 7)
v = 175π


4

Solve for x:
-4x - 3 < \( \frac{x}{6} \)

44% Answer Correctly
x < -1\(\frac{7}{11}\)
x < \(\frac{63}{73}\)
x < -\(\frac{18}{25}\)
x < 1\(\frac{23}{49}\)

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.

-4x - 3 < \( \frac{x}{6} \)
6 x (-4x - 3) < x
(6 x -4x) + (6 x -3) < x
-24x - 18 < x
-24x - 18 - x < 0
-24x - x < 18
-25x < 18
x < \( \frac{18}{-25} \)
x < -\(\frac{18}{25}\)


5

Simplify 8a x 7b.

86% Answer Correctly
56\( \frac{b}{a} \)
56\( \frac{a}{b} \)
56a2b2
56ab

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

8a x 7b = (8 x 7) (a x b) = 56ab
