Misc Geo

100

a) Every rectangle is a square
b) Every square is a rectangle

Choose the correct statement and explain.

B; Squares are special types of rectangles. The only time a rectangle is a square is if it has 4 congruent sides.

200

True of False - Squares are the only parallelogram where all 4 sides are congruent. Explain. 

False, rhombi also have 4 congruent sides

300

True or False - All rhombi are squares. Explain.  

False; all squares are rhombi because all 4 sides are equal, however, a rhombus does not need to have 4 right angles while a square does.

400

Name 4 characteristics of ALL parallelograms. 

What is 

1) Opposite sides are congruent (same length).
2) Opposite angles are congruent (same degrees).

3) There are two pair of parallel sides.

4) There are four sides.

500

Find the area and perimeter of the following shape. Include correct units.  

Area - 48 ft.² 

Perimeter - 32 ft.

AREA

100

Find the area of the shape given.

25 u²

200

Find the area of the shape given.

6 u²

300

What is the area of the irregular shape? 

78 u²

400

What is the area of the parallelogram?  What measurement is not needed to find the area? Why don't you need this measurement? 

Area is 54 yd²

You do not need the side measurement of 9 yards. You only need the height that is perpendicular to the base.  6 yards is perpendicular to the bottom base of 9 yards. 

500

Using the formula for area of parallelograms, find the area of the given parallelogram. 

6 u²
