How many sides total does a heptagon and a decagon have together?
- A.
17
- B.
16
- C.
15
- D.
18
Correct Answer
B. 16Explanation
A heptagon has 7 sides and a decagon has 10 sides. To find the total number of sides, we add the number of sides of both shapes together. Therefore, a heptagon and a decagon together have 7 + 10 = 17 sides. However, the given options do not include 17, so the closest option is 16, which is the correct answer.Rate this question:

What is the sum of the interior angles of a hexagon?
- A.
360
- B.
180
- C.
720
- D.
1080
Correct Answer
C. 720Explanation
A hexagon is a polygon with six sides. The formula to calculate the sum of the interior angles of any polygon is (n-2) * 180, where n is the number of sides. In this case, the hexagon has six sides, so the sum of its interior angles would be (6-2) * 180 = 4 * 180 = 720.Rate this question:

What's the measure of each interior angle of a regular pentagon?
- A.
540°
- B.
90°
- C.
72°
- D.
108°
Correct Answer
D. 108°Explanation
A regular pentagon has five equal sides and five equal interior angles. To find the measure of each interior angle, we can use the formula (n-2) * 180° / n, where n is the number of sides of the polygon. Plugging in the values, we get (5-2) * 180° / 5 = 3 * 180° / 5 = 540° / 5 = 108°. Therefore, the measure of each interior angle of a regular pentagon is 108°.Rate this question:

- C.
154.23°
- D.
1080°
Correct Answer
A. 51.43°Explanation
The measure of each exterior angle of a regular heptagon can be found by dividing 360° (the sum of all exterior angles in any polygon) by the number of sides, which in this case is 7. Therefore, each exterior angle of a regular heptagon measures 51.43°.Rate this question:

How many sides does a regular polygon have if each exterior angle is 22.5°?
- A.
15
- B.
12
- C.
17
- D.
16
Correct Answer
D. 16Explanation
A regular polygon has equal sides and equal angles. The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is always 360°. So, if each exterior angle of a regular polygon is 22.5°, then the polygon must have 360°/22.5° = 16 sides. Therefore, the correct answer is 16.Rate this question:

Rhombus
- D.
Square
- E.
All of the above
Correct Answer
B. TrapezoidExplanation
The statement "Medians exist in which of the following shape/shapes?" implies that we are looking for shapes that have medians. A median is a line segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side. In the given options, a trapezoid is the only shape that can have medians. Parallelograms, rhombuses, and squares do not have medians because their sides are not divided into two equal halves. Therefore, the correct answer is trapezoid.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
E. All of the aboveExplanation
All of the shapes listed (parallelogram, rectangle, rhombus, and square) have opposite sides that are congruent. In a parallelogram, opposite sides are parallel and congruent. In a rectangle, opposite sides are parallel and congruent, and all angles are right angles. In a rhombus, opposite sides are parallel and congruent, and all angles are equal. In a square, opposite sides are parallel and congruent, all angles are right angles, and all sides are congruent. Therefore, all of these shapes have opposite sides that are congruent.Rate this question:

Pi Day is Monday March 14th
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th because the mathematical constant pi (π) is approximately equal to 3.14. The date March 14th is written as 3/14 in the American date format, which corresponds to the first three digits of pi. Therefore, it is true that Pi Day falls on Monday, March 14th.Rate this question:

- B.
77°
- C.
90°
- D.
180°
Correct Answer
A. 103°Explanation
The measure of angle A in the trapezoid is 103°. This can be determined by using the fact that the sum of the angles in a trapezoid is equal to 360°. Since the other three angles are given as 77°, 90°, and 180°, subtracting their sum from 360° will give the measure of angle A.Rate this question:

- B.
77°
- C.
90°
- D.
180°
Correct Answer
B. 77°Explanation
The measure of angle C in a trapezoid is equal to the measure of the opposite angle, which is 77° in this case. This is because opposite angles in a trapezoid are congruent, meaning they have the same measure. Therefore, angle C is 77°.Rate this question:

In the trapezoid below, what is x if AD=14 and BC=7+2x?
- A.
7
- B.
3.5
- C.
14
- D.
10.5
Correct Answer
B. 3.5Explanation
In a trapezoid, the parallel sides are called bases. In this case, AD is one of the bases and BC is the other base. It is given that AD = 14 and BC = 7 + 2x. To find the value of x, we need to equate the bases. By setting AD equal to BC, we have 14 = 7 + 2x. Solving this equation, we get x = 3.5. Therefore, the value of x is 3.5.Rate this question:

The diagonals in all parallelograms bisect each other
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
In a parallelogram, the opposite sides are parallel and equal in length. Since the diagonals of a parallelogram connect opposite vertices, they also bisect each other. This means that the point where the diagonals intersect divides each diagonal into two equal halves. Therefore, the statement that the diagonals in all parallelograms bisect each other is true.Rate this question:
-
- 36.
In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect the angles
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect the angles. This means that each diagonal divides the angle formed by the adjacent sides into two equal parts. This property is true for all rhombuses, making the statement "True" the correct answer.Rate this question:
-
- 37.
The diagonals in all parallelograms are congruent
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement is false. In parallelograms, the diagonals are not always congruent. While the opposite sides of a parallelogram are always equal in length, the diagonals may have different lengths. The diagonals of a parallelogram only bisect each other, meaning they divide each other into two equal parts, but they are not necessarily congruent. Therefore, the correct answer is false.Rate this question:

The legs in a trapezoid are always congurent
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The given statement is false. In a trapezoid, the legs are not always congruent. The legs of a trapezoid are the two sides that are parallel to each other. However, these legs can have different lengths, which means they are not congruent. Only the two non-parallel sides of a trapezoid, called bases, can be congruent if the trapezoid is an isosceles trapezoid.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. (n-2) * 180Explanation
The equation for the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is (n-2) * 180. This equation is derived from the fact that the sum of the interior angles of any polygon can be found by subtracting 2 from the number of sides (n) and then multiplying the result by 180. This formula holds true for all polygons, regardless of the number of sides.Rate this question:

- D.
A = 1/2 * h * (b1 + b2)
Correct Answer
D. A = 1/2 * h * (b1 + b2)Explanation
The equation for the area of a trapezoid is A = 1/2 * h * (b1 + b2). This formula calculates the area by taking the average of the lengths of the two parallel bases (b1 and b2) and multiplying it by the height (h) of the trapezoid. The 1/2 factor is included to account for the fact that the trapezoid is a quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides.Rate this question:

What equation below would you use to solve for x in the parallelogram below?
- A.
2x+43+3x+21=180
- B.

- C.
2x+43+3x+21=90
- D.
2x+43=90
Correct Answer
B. 2x+43=3x+21Explanation
To solve for x in the parallelogram, we can set up an equation using the given information. The equation 2x+43=3x+21 represents the relationship between the angles in the parallelogram. By subtracting 2x from both sides of the equation, we can isolate the x term. This gives us 43=x+21. By subtracting 21 from both sides, we find that x=22. Therefore, the equation 2x+43=3x+21 can be used to solve for x in the parallelogram.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 90+x+x-18=180Explanation
The equation x+x-18=180 can be used to solve for x in the rhombus. This equation is derived from the fact that the sum of all angles in a rhombus is equal to 360 degrees. By simplifying the equation, we can solve for x by combining like terms and isolating the variable.Rate this question:
