- B.
F-2=V+E
- C.
V+F-2=E
- D.
E+F+V=2
Correct Answer
C. V+F-2=EExplanation
Euler's Formula states that for any convex polyhedron, the number of vertices (V), edges (E), and faces (F) are related by the equation V+F-2=E. This means that if we know the number of vertices and faces of a convex polyhedron, we can determine the number of edges it has by substituting the values into the formula.Rate this question:

PrismExplanation
A prism is a 3D polyhedron that has two bases that are congruent to each other and parallel lateral faces. The bases are identical in shape and size, and the lateral faces connect the corresponding vertices of the bases. This arrangement creates a solid shape with flat, rectangular faces. The given description perfectly matches the characteristics of a prism, making it the correct answer.Rate this question:
- 13.
Pyramid whose lateral edges are congruent
Correct Answer
Regular PyramidExplanation
A regular pyramid is a pyramid whose lateral edges are congruent. This means that all the slanting edges of the pyramid have the same length. In a regular pyramid, the base is a regular polygon, and the height is the perpendicular distance from the apex (top point) to the base. Since the lateral edges are congruent, it implies that all the triangular faces of the pyramid are congruent as well. Therefore, the correct answer is a regular pyramid.Rate this question:
- 14.
Prism whose lateral edges meet at a right angle to the base
Correct Answer
Right PrismExplanation
A right prism is a type of prism where the lateral edges meet at a right angle to the base. This means that the edges forming the sides of the prism are perpendicular to the base. The term "right" in right prism refers to the right angle formed between the lateral edges and the base. Therefore, the given answer "Right Prism" correctly describes a prism whose lateral edges meet at a right angle to the base.Rate this question:

What does it mean to be congruent?
- A.
Corresponding sides are congruent
- B.
Corresponding angles are congruent
- C.
No two sides have same length
- D.
At least two sides are same length
Correct Answer(s)
A. Corresponding sides are congruent
B. Corresponding angles are congruentExplanation
To be congruent means that corresponding sides and corresponding angles of two objects or shapes are equal in measure or length. This means that if two shapes are congruent, their corresponding sides will have the same length and their corresponding angles will have the same measure. The other options, "No two sides have the same length" and "At least two sides are the same length," do not fully capture the concept of congruence as they do not encompass both sides and angles being equal.Rate this question:

F. SASExplanation
The given answer consists of four different types of congruence shortcuts: ASA (Angle-Side-Angle), AAS (Angle-Angle-Side), SSS (Side-Side-Side), and SAS (Side-Angle-Side). These shortcuts are used to prove that two triangles are congruent based on the given information about their angles and sides. ASA states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. AAS states that if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. SSS states that if the three sides of one triangle are congruent to the three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. SAS states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.Rate this question:

What is the formula for the sum of interior angles of any polygon?
- A.
2-nx180
- B.
180-n+2
- C.
N-2x180
- D.
Nx180-2
Correct Answer
C. N-2x180Explanation
The formula for the sum of interior angles of any polygon is n-2x180. This formula can be derived by dividing the polygon into (n-2) triangles, where n is the number of sides of the polygon. Each triangle has interior angles that sum up to 180 degrees. Therefore, the sum of interior angles of the polygon is equal to (n-2) multiplied by 180.Rate this question:

In any polygon, the number of sides=number of vertices=number of interior angles. In other words, the amount of each are the same.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because in any polygon, the number of sides is equal to the number of vertices, which is also equal to the number of interior angles. This is a fundamental property of polygons and is true for all polygons regardless of their shape or size. Therefore, the amount of sides, vertices, and interior angles in a polygon will always be the same.Rate this question:

Find the sum of the interior angles in a dodecagon.
Correct Answer
1800Explanation
A dodecagon is a polygon with 12 sides. To find the sum of the interior angles in a dodecagon, we can use the formula (n-2) * 180 degrees, where n is the number of sides. Plugging in the value of n as 12, we get (12-2) * 180 = 10 * 180 = 1800 degrees. Therefore, the sum of the interior angles in a dodecagon is 1800.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
Equiangular and EquilateralExplanation
A regular polygon is a polygon where all sides are equal in length and all angles are equal. Therefore, in order for a shape to be a regular polygon, it must be both equiangular (having equal angles) and equilateral (having equal sides). If either of these conditions is not met, the shape would not be a regular polygon.Rate this question:

All quadrilaterals are parallelograms.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement "All quadrilaterals are parallelograms" is false because not all quadrilaterals have their opposite sides parallel. A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides, and a parallelogram is a special type of quadrilateral where opposite sides are parallel. However, there are other types of quadrilaterals, such as trapezoids or kites, where the opposite sides are not parallel. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that all quadrilaterals are parallelograms.Rate this question:

Hectare
Correct Answer
D. Concave hexagonExplanation
A concave hexagon is a shape that has six sides and at least one interior angle greater than 180 degrees. This means that the shape has a "caved-in" or indented portion, which is why it is called concave. In contrast, a convex hexagon would have all interior angles less than 180 degrees and no indented portions. Since the given shape is described as concave, it implies that it has at least one angle greater than 180 degrees, making it a concave hexagon.Rate this question:
