In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect the angles.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect the angles because a rhombus is a special type of parallelogram where all sides are equal in length. The diagonals of a rhombus intersect at right angles, dividing the rhombus into four congruent right triangles. Since the opposite sides of a rhombus are parallel, the diagonals bisect the angles formed by the sides, creating two congruent angles at each vertex. Therefore, the statement is true.Rate this question:

A____________________ is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.
Correct Answer
trapezoidExplanation
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. In a trapezoid, the parallel sides are called the bases, and the non-parallel sides are called the legs. The parallel sides can be of any length or orientation, as long as they are parallel to each other. The other two sides of the trapezoid may or may not be equal in length. The angles formed by the legs and the bases can vary, but the sum of the interior angles of a trapezoid is always 360 degrees.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Rectangle, SquareExplanation
The correct answer is Rectangle, Square. Both a rectangle and a square have all angles that measure 90 degrees, making them right angles. A rectangle is a quadrilateral with opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length, while a square is a special type of rectangle with all sides equal in length. Therefore, both shapes satisfy the condition of having all angles as right angles.Rate this question:

What is the sum of the interior angles of a hexagon?
-
360
-
180
-
720
-
1080
Correct Answer
A. 720Explanation
A hexagon has six sides. The sum of the interior angles of any polygon can be found using the formula (n-2) * 180, where n is the number of sides. In this case, (6-2) * 180 = 4 * 180 = 720. Therefore, the sum of the interior angles of a hexagon is 720.Rate this question:

-
(n-2) * 360
-
N * 180
-
(n-2) * 180
-
360
Correct Answer
A. (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:

The legs in a trapezoid are always congurent.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The statement is false because the legs in a trapezoid are not always congruent. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides, and the legs refer to the non-parallel sides. In most cases, the legs of a trapezoid have different lengths, making them non-congruent. However, there are special cases where the legs can be congruent, such as when the trapezoid is an isosceles trapezoid with congruent base angles.Rate this question:

A. Parallelogram, Rectangle, Rhombus, SquareExplanation
The statement "Opposite sides are congruent" is true for all parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, and squares. In a parallelogram, opposite sides are parallel and congruent. In a rectangle, opposite sides are parallel and congruent, as well as perpendicular. In a rhombus, opposite sides are parallel and congruent, as well as perpendicular. In a square, all sides are congruent, so opposite sides are also congruent. Therefore, the correct answer is Parallelogram, Rectangle, Rhombus, Square.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
isosceles trapezoidExplanation
An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid with two congruent legs. The term "isosceles" refers to the fact that the two legs of the trapezoid are equal in length. This distinguishes it from a regular trapezoid, where the legs are not necessarily congruent. Therefore, the given answer, "isosceles trapezoid," accurately describes a trapezoid with congruent legs.Rate this question:

-
123°
-
57°
-
33°
-

Correct Answer
A. 123°Explanation
In an isosceles trapezoid, the base angles (angles opposite the parallel sides) are congruent. Since angle 2 is opposite the longer base, it must be congruent to the other base angle, which measures 123°. Therefore, the measure of angle 2 in the isosceles trapezoid is 123°.Rate this question:

kiteExplanation
A quadrilateral with exactly two distinct pairs of adjacent congruent sides is a kite. A kite is a special type of quadrilateral that has two pairs of adjacent sides that are congruent. The diagonals of a kite are also perpendicular to each other. This definition fits the given description, as a kite has exactly two pairs of adjacent congruent sides. Therefore, the correct answer is kite.Rate this question:

Base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are:
Correct Answer
congruentExplanation
In an isosceles trapezoid, the base angles are congruent. This means that the angles formed by the non-parallel sides and the bases are equal in measure. Since the trapezoid has two parallel sides and two non-parallel sides, the base angles on each side are equal. This property is a characteristic of an isosceles trapezoid and helps to identify and distinguish it from other types of trapezoids.Rate this question:

How many sides does a regular polygon have if each exterior angle is 22.5°?
-

-
12
-

-
16
Correct Answer
A. 16Explanation
A regular polygon has equal angles and equal sides. In this case, each exterior angle is given as 22.5°. To find the number of sides, we can use the formula for the exterior angle of a regular polygon: 360° divided by the number of sides. By setting up the equation 360°/x = 22.5°, we can solve for x. Dividing 360° by 22.5° gives us 16, so the regular polygon has 16 sides.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
parallelogramExplanation
If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, it means that the lengths of the opposite sides are equal. This is a property of parallelograms, where opposite sides are parallel and congruent. Therefore, if a quadrilateral has congruent opposite sides, it must be a parallelogram.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
A. A parallelogram
A. 4 right anglesExplanation
The given answer, "A parallelogram, 4 right angles," accurately describes the properties of a rectangle. A rectangle is a parallelogram because opposite sides are parallel. It also has four right angles, making it a quadrilateral with all interior angles measuring 90 degrees. These properties distinguish a rectangle from other quadrilaterals, such as squares or rhombuses, which may have some but not all of these characteristics. Additionally, the answer does not mention the congruency of the sides or the perpendicularity of the diagonals, which are not defining properties of a rectangle.Rate this question:
