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

58% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

area = ½bh

perimeter = sum of side lengths

sum of interior angles = 180°


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

If AD = 25 and BD = 15, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
9
17
11
10

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 25 - 15
AB = 10


3

What is 9a + 3a?

81% Answer Correctly
a2
6
12a
12a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

9a + 3a = 12a


4

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

polynomial

binomial

monomial

quadratic


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


5

Solve for c:
-3c + 8 > \( \frac{c}{-1} \)

44% Answer Correctly
c > 4
c > 3\(\frac{10}{13}\)
c > \(\frac{2}{17}\)
c > \(\frac{56}{71}\)

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.

-3c + 8 > \( \frac{c}{-1} \)
-1 x (-3c + 8) > c
(-1 x -3c) + (-1 x 8) > c
3c - 8 > c
3c - 8 - c > 0
3c - c > 8
2c > 8
c > \( \frac{8}{2} \)
c > 4
