Geometry Perimeter, Area/Surface Area &volume - Quiz


Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    The formula for perimeter is

    • A. 

      Length times width

    • B. 

      Length times width times height

    • C. 

      Length plus width plus length plus width

    • D. 

      Length plus width

    Correct Answer
    C. Length plus width plus length plus width
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "length plus width plus length plus width" because the formula for calculating the perimeter of a rectangle is to add up all the sides. In a rectangle, opposite sides are equal in length, so we add the length twice and the width twice to get the total perimeter.

    I need to figure out the perimeter when I want to purchase a rug for my bedroom floor.

    • A. 

      True

    • B. 

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the perimeter is the measurement around the outside of a shape, such as a room or a rug. When purchasing a rug for a bedroom floor, the area of the floor would be more relevant than the perimeter, as the area would determine the size of the rug needed to cover the floor.

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement implies that the person is unable to measure the surface area of a kitchen floor. This suggests that they lack the necessary tools or skills to accurately determine the area. Therefore, the answer "True" indicates that it is not possible for the person to measure the surface area of a kitchen floor.

      Table cloth

    • D. 

      New necklace

    Correct Answer
    B. Wrapping a present
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "wrapping a present". When wrapping a present, we need to calculate the surface area of the box in order to determine the amount of wrapping paper needed. The surface area includes the top, bottom, and sides of the box. By calculating the surface area, we can ensure that we have enough wrapping paper to cover the entire present without any gaps.
