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

63% Answer Correctly

the area is length x width

all interior angles are right angles

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

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).

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 0) and (2, 4). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -x + 0
y = -3x - 4
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 2
y = x + 2

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 2. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 0) and (2, 4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(4.0) - (0.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{4}{4} \)
m = 1

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = x + 2


3

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π d2

a = π r

a = π r2

a = π d


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


4

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

intersects

trisects

bisects

midpoints


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


5

If a = c = 3, b = d = 6, and the blue angle = 55°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
18
1
24
27

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 6
a = 18
