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

63% Answer Correctly

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

all interior angles are right angles

the area is length x width

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).

If angle a = 62° and angle b = 27° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
147°
118°
154°
110°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 62° - 27° = 91°

So, d° = 27° + 91° = 118°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 62° = 118°


3

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

90% Answer Correctly

5

2

3

4


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% Answer Correctly

radius

chord

diameter

circumference


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).

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

pairs

exponents

addition

division


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
