1

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

63% Answer Correctly

the area is length x width

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

all interior angles are right angles

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).


2

If side a = 4, side b = 2, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{20} \)
\( \sqrt{113} \)
\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{117} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 22
c2 = 16 + 4
c2 = 20
c = \( \sqrt{20} \)


3

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

triangle

rhombus

quadrilateral


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


4

What is 6a - 9a?

79% Answer Correctly
-3a2
-3
54a2
-3a

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.

6a - 9a = -3a


5

If a = c = 4, b = d = 1, and the blue angle = 70°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
6
14
48
4

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 4 x 1
a = 4
