A composite number has more than two factors.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A composite number is a positive integer that has more than two distinct positive divisors. This means that a composite number can be divided evenly by more than just 1 and itself. For example, the number 6 is a composite number because it can be divided evenly by 1, 2, 3, and 6. Therefore, the statement "A composite number has more than two factors" is true.Rate this question:

A hexagon has 5 angles.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
A hexagon has 6 angles, not 5. Each angle in a regular hexagon measures 120 degrees, so the total sum of all angles in a hexagon is 720 degrees. Therefore, the statement that a hexagon has 5 angles is false.Rate this question:

The area of a square whose perimeter is 36 cm is 81 square cm.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The perimeter of a square is the sum of all its sides. In this case, the perimeter is 36 cm. Since a square has four equal sides, each side of the square would be 36 cm divided by 4, which is 9 cm. The area of a square is calculated by multiplying the length of one side by itself. Therefore, the area of this square would be 9 cm multiplied by 9 cm, which equals 81 square cm. Hence, the statement is true.Rate this question:
