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

64% Answer Correctly

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

all interior angles are right angles

the area is length x width

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

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

55% Answer Correctly

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral and right

equilateral, isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


3

What is 8a + 2a?

81% Answer Correctly
16a
10a
6a2
16a2

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.

8a + 2a = 10a


4

If side a = 8, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{41} \)
\( \sqrt{50} \)
10
\( \sqrt{113} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 72
c2 = 64 + 49
c2 = 113
c = \( \sqrt{113} \)


5

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 4?

70% Answer Correctly
16π
81π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(42)
a = 16π
