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

63% Answer Correctly

all interior angles are right angles

the lengths of all sides are equal

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

the area is length x width


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 cylinder are height (h) = 3 and radius (r) = 3. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
196π
36π
48π
192π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(32) + 2π(3 x 3)
sa = 2π(9) + 2π(9)
sa = (2 x 9)π + (2 x 9)π
sa = 18π + 18π
sa = 36π


3

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 9, length (l) = 6, and width (w) = 4. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
48
216
189
18

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 9 x 6 x 4
v = 216


5

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

polynomial

quadratic

binomial

monomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.
