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 area is length x width

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).

Solve for x:
-6x - 2 < -3 + 2x

55% Answer Correctly
x < -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
x < -1\(\frac{3}{4}\)
x < \(\frac{1}{8}\)
x < \(\frac{5}{9}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

-6x - 2 < -3 + 2x
-6x < -3 + 2x + 2
-6x - 2x < -3 + 2
-8x < -1
x < \( \frac{-1}{-8} \)
x < \(\frac{1}{8}\)


3

If angle a = 63° and angle b = 30° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
58°
94°
125°
87°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 63° - 30° = 87°


4

Solve for x:
-3x + 9 > \( \frac{x}{-9} \)

44% Answer Correctly
x > \(\frac{20}{21}\)
x > \(\frac{6}{19}\)
x > 3\(\frac{3}{26}\)
x > 1\(\frac{1}{53}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

-3x + 9 > \( \frac{x}{-9} \)
-9 x (-3x + 9) > x
(-9 x -3x) + (-9 x 9) > x
27x - 81 > x
27x - 81 - x > 0
27x - x > 81
26x > 81
x > \( \frac{81}{26} \)
x > 3\(\frac{3}{26}\)


5

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

supplementary, vertical

obtuse, acute

vertical, supplementary

acute, obtuse


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).
