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

the lengths of all sides are equal

the area is length x width

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

If side a = 7, side b = 2, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
5
\( \sqrt{53} \)
\( \sqrt{20} \)
\( \sqrt{32} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 72 + 22
c2 = 49 + 4
c2 = 53
c = \( \sqrt{53} \)


3

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

π r2h2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

4π r2

π r2h


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


4

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

76% Answer Correctly

formula

expression

equation

problem


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.


5

If side x = 5cm, side y = 8cm, and side z = 5cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
18cm
29cm
25cm
26cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 5cm + 8cm + 5cm = 18cm
