Geometry quiz on finding the area and perimeter of parallelograms, squares and rectangles

Questions and Answers

1.

Find the area of a rectangle with sides 13 inches and 10 inches.
- A.
  
  23 sq inches
- B.
  
  130 sq inches
- C.
  
  46 sq inches
- D.
  
  33 sq inches
Correct Answer

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with length 13 and width 10?
- A.
  
  23 units
- B.
  
  130 units
- C.
  
  46 units
- D.
  
  33 units
- E.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
C. 46 units

Explanation
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding up all four sides of the rectangle. In this case, the length of the rectangle is 13 units and the width is 10 units. To find the perimeter, we add twice the length and twice the width: 2(13) + 2(10) = 26 + 20 = 46 units. Therefore, the correct answer is 46 units.

- B.
  
  28 cm²
- C.
  
  19 cm²
- D.
  
  32 cm²
Correct Answer
D. 32 cm²

Explanation
The area of a parallelogram is calculated by multiplying the base length by the height. Since the question does not provide the measurements of either the base or the height, it is not possible to determine the area of the parallelogram. Therefore, an explanation for the correct answer of 32 cm² is not available.

Rate this question:
