Example Question #51 : How To Graph An Ordered Pair

Starting at the coordinate point shown below, if you move down  and to the right , what is your new point?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The starting point is at . When we move up or down we are moving along the -axis. When we move to the right or left we are moving along the -axis. 

Moving up the -axis and moving right on the -axis means addition. 

Moving down the -axis and moving left on the axis means subtraction. 

Because we are moving down , we can subtract  from our  coordinate point and because we are moving to the right  we can add  to our coordinate point.

Example Question #811 : Geometry

Which of the following shapes is NOT a quadrilateral? 

Possible Answers:

Kite

Triangle

Rhombus

Square

Rectangle 

Correct answer:

Triangle

Explanation:

A quadrilateral is any two-dimensional shape with   sides. The only shape listed that does not have  sides is a triangle. 

Example Question #42 : Geometry

What is the main difference between a square and a rectangle?

Possible Answers:

The number of sides they each have 

Their side lengths 

Their angle measurments

The sum of their angles 

Their color 

Correct answer:

Their side lengths 

Explanation:

The only difference between a rectangle and a square is their side lengths. A square has to have  equal side lengths, but the opposite side lengths of a rectangle only have to be equal. 

Example Question #1961 : Common Core Math: Grade 5

What two shapes can a square be classified as? 

Possible Answers:

Rectangle and Triangle 

Rectangle and Rhombus 

Rhombus and Triangle 

Trapezoid and Rhombus 

Trapezoid and Triangle 

Correct answer:

Rectangle and Rhombus 

Explanation:

A square can also be a rectangle and a rhombus because a rectangle has to have at least  sets of equal side lengths and a rhombus has to have  equal side lengths, like a square, and at least  sets of equal angles.

Example Question #812 : Geometry

What is the main difference between a triangle and a rectangle?

Possible Answers:

The volume

The area

The color

The length of the sides

The number of sides

Correct answer:

The number of sides

Explanation:

Out of the choices given, the only characteristic used to describe shapes is the number of sides. A triangle has  sides and a rectangle has  sides. 

Example Question #5 : Understand Categories And Subcategories Of Two Dimensional Figures: Ccss.Math.Content.5.G.B.3

Which two shapes have to have  right angles? 

Possible Answers:

Rectangle and Rhombus

Rectangle and Parallelogram

Square and Rectangle 

Square and Rhombus

Square and Parallelogram

Correct answer:

Square and Rectangle 

Explanation:

By definition, the only two quadrilaterals that have to have  right angles, are the square and the rectangle.
