Question 1

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 8 cm and a width of 5 cm?

Accepted Answer

26 cm

Answer

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w) = 2(8 + 5) = 2(13) = 26 cm.

Question 2

A triangle has two angles measuring 45° and 75°. What is the measure of the third angle?

Accepted Answer

60°

Answer

The angles of a triangle always sum to 180°, so the third angle = 180° − 45° − 75° = 60°.

Question 3

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 4 cm? (Use π ≈ 3.14)

Accepted Answer

50.24 cm²

Answer

Area of a circle = πr² = 3.14 × 4² = 3.14 × 16 = 50.24 cm².

Question 4

Which of the following is NOT necessarily a property of a parallelogram?

Accepted Answer

All four angles measure 90°

Answer

A parallelogram has opposite sides parallel and equal and opposite angles equal, but its angles do not have to be 90° — that is the specific property of a rectangle.

Question 5

A line segment has endpoints at (2, 3) and (6, 3) on a coordinate plane. What is the length of the segment?

Accepted Answer

4 units

Answer

Since both points share the same y-coordinate, the length is simply the difference in x-coordinates: 6 − 2 = 4 units.
