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

the lengths of all sides are equal

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).


2

Simplify (2a)(2ab) + (4a2)(7b).

65% Answer Correctly
32ab2
24ab2
44a2b
32a2b

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(2a)(2ab) + (4a2)(7b)
(2 x 2)(a x a x b) + (4 x 7)(a2 x b)
(4)(a1+1 x b) + (28)(a2b)
4a2b + 28a2b
32a2b


3

If a = c = 1, b = d = 6, and the blue angle = 77°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
16
24
20
6

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 1 x 6
a = 6


4

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

quadrilateral

rhombus

triangle

trapezoid


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


5

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

88% Answer Correctly

addition

pairs

exponents

division


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.)
