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).

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 1, length (l) = 2, and width (w) = 5. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
34
146
258
118

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 2 x 5) + (2 x 5 x 1) + (2 x 2 x 1)
sa = (20) + (10) + (4)
sa = 34


3

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

75% Answer Correctly

normalizing

factoring

squaring

deconstructing


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


4

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

91% Answer Correctly

division

addition

pairs

exponents


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


5

If a = 2, b = 6, c = 3, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
13
17
23
21

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 2 + 6 + 3 + 2
p = 13
