    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    A rectangle has a length of 6 inches and a width of 4 inches. What is the area in inches squared?

    • A.

      24

    • B.

      27

    • C.

      26

    • D.

      22

    Correct Answer
    A. 24
    Explanation
    The area of a rectangle is L × W, where L is the length and W is the width. Thus, 6 x 4 = 24.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    The area of a rectangle is 45 cm2. If its length is 9 cm, then its width in cm is ___________.

    • A.

      5

    • B.

      10

    • C.

      15

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. 5
    Explanation
    Area = L × W 45 = 9 × W
    W = 45 ÷ 9 = 5

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The perimeter of a square is 24 cm. The area of the square is cm2

    • A.

      36

    • B.

      32

    • C.

      30

    • D.

      35

    Correct Answer
    A. 36
    Explanation
    Perimeter is 4 × a where a is the side of the square
    4 × a =24
    a = 24 ÷ 4 = 6
    Area = a × a = 6 × 6 = 36 cm2

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    How many squares with the side of 2 cm cover the surface of a rectangle with a length of 24 cm and a width of 8 cm?

    • A.

      48

    • B.

      49

    • C.

      47

    • D.

      46

    Correct Answer
    A. 48
    Explanation
    The area of the square is 2 × 2 = 4 cm2
    The area of the rectangle is L × W = 24 × 8 = 192 cm2
    The number of squares is 192 ÷ 4 = 48

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    A triangle with one angle greater than 90 degrees

    • A.

      Equilateral triangle

    • B.

      Obtuse triangle

    • C.

      Acute triangle

    • D.

      Isosceles triangle

    Correct Answer
    B. Obtuse triangle
    Explanation
    An obtuse triangle is a triangle that has one angle greater than 90 degrees. It is different from an acute triangle, which has all angles less than 90 degrees, and an equilateral triangle, which has all angles equal to 60 degrees. An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two sides of equal length, but it does not necessarily have an angle greater than 90 degrees. Therefore, the correct answer is obtuse triangle.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    A triangle with all three angles less than 90 degrees

    • A.

      Equilateral triangle

    • B.

       obtuse triangle

    • C.

      Acute triangle

    • D.

      Isosceles triangle

    Correct Answer
    C. Acute triangle
    Explanation
    An acute triangle is a triangle in which all three angles are less than 90 degrees. This means that none of the angles in the triangle are obtuse (greater than 90 degrees) or right angles (exactly 90 degrees). An equilateral triangle has all three angles equal to 60 degrees, which is less than 90 degrees, making it an acute triangle. An obtuse triangle has one angle greater than 90 degrees, so it is not an acute triangle. An isosceles triangle has two equal angles, but it can still have one angle greater than 90 degrees, making it not an acute triangle.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    A triangle having at least two equal sides.

    • A.

       acute triangle

    • B.

      Isosceles triangle

    • C.

      Equilateral triangle

    • D.

      Obtuse triangle

    Correct Answer
    B. Isosceles triangle
    Explanation
    An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has at least two equal sides. It is not necessary for all three sides to be equal, as in the case of an equilateral triangle. An acute triangle is a triangle where all three angles are less than 90 degrees, while an obtuse triangle has one angle greater than 90 degrees. Therefore, the correct answer is isosceles triangle.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    A triangle with one angle equal to 90 degrees.

    • A.

      Right triangle

    • B.

      Equilateral triangle

    • C.

      Acute triangle

    • D.

       obtuse triangle

    Correct Answer
    A. Right triangle
    Explanation
    A triangle with one angle equal to 90 degrees is called a right triangle. In a right triangle, one of the angles is a right angle, which measures 90 degrees. This type of triangle has a unique property where the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two shorter sides is equal to the square of the length of the longest side, which is known as the Pythagorean theorem.
