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

63% Answer Correctly

the area is length x width

the lengths of all sides are equal

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

all interior angles are right angles


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).


2

What is 9a + 8a?

81% Answer Correctly
1
17a2
17a
a2

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 + 8a = 17a


3

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 - a2

c - a

a2 - c2

c2 + a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


4

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 4?

69% Answer Correctly
64π
16π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(42)
a = 16π


5

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

50% Answer Correctly

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

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


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).
