Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

58% Answer Correctly

sum of interior angles = 180°

perimeter = sum of side lengths

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

area = ½bh


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


2

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

parallel

equal length

equal angle

right angle


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


3

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π r

a = π d

a = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


4

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

77% Answer Correctly

problem

formula

expression

equation


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 6. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
252π
567π
294π
96π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(62 x 7)
v = 252π
