ID: d0b6d927 Answer

Correct Answer: A

Rationale

Choice A is correct. The area , in square meters, of a rectangle is the product of its length 𝓁, in meters, and its width
𝓁 . It's given that a rectangle has an area of
for and for 𝓁 in the equation 𝓁 yields
, in meters; thus, square meters and a length of meters.
Substituting . Dividing both sides of this equation by
yields . Therefore, the width, in meters, of the rectangle is .

Choice B is incorrect. This is the difference between the area, in square meters, and the length, in meters, of the
rectangle, not the width, in meters, of the rectangle.

Choice C is incorrect. This is the square of the length, in meters, not the width, in meters, of the rectangle.

Choice D is incorrect. This is the product of the area, in square meters, and the length, in meters, of the rectangle, not
the width, in meters, of the rectangle.

Triangle ABC and triangle DEF are similar triangles, where and are
corresponding sides. If and the perimeter of triangle ABC is 20,
what is the perimeter of triangle DEF ?

A. 10

B. 40

C. 80

D. 120

ID: 0837c3b9 Answer

Correct Answer: B

Rationale

Choice B is correct. Since triangles ABC and DEF are similar and , the length of each side of triangle DEF is
two times the length of its corresponding side in triangle ABC. Therefore, the perimeter of triangle DEF is two times the
perimeter of triangle ABC. Since the perimeter of triangle ABC is 20, the perimeter of triangle DEF is 40.

Choice A is incorrect. This is half, not two times, the perimeter of triangle ABC. Choice C is incorrect. This is two times
the perimeter of triangle DEF rather than two times the perimeter of triangle ABC. Choice D is incorrect. This is six
times, not two times, the perimeter of triangle ABC.
