  1. True

  2. False

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

An equilateral triangle has three equal sides. If it shares two sides with a parallelogram, those two adjacent sides of the parallelogram must be equal to the sides of the triangle, and thus equal to each other. A parallelogram with equal adjacent sides is a rhombus. Thus, the statement is true.

  2. False

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

In an isosceles triangle, the base is the side of unequal length, while the two legs are the equal sides. By the triangle inequality theorem, any side of a triangle must be less than the sum of the other two sides. Therefore, the base cannot be greater than the sum of the two legs - it must be less than their sum. The statement is false, and the correct answer is False.

Multiple choice general knowledge math & puzzles
  1. In a square all angles are 90 Degree.

  2. Sum of angles of Square is always 180.

  3. Sum of angles of Triangle is always 180.

  4. All of the above are false statements.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The sum of the interior angles of a square is always 360 degrees (90 degrees * 4), not 180 degrees. Therefore, this statement is incorrect, making it the correct option.

  1. Euclid

  2. Riemann

  3. Lobachevsky

  4. It is impossible!

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

In non-Euclidean geometries, the sum of angles in a triangle differs from 180 degrees. In Riemannian geometry (spherical/elliptic geometry), the angle sum is always greater than 180 degrees - think of a triangle drawn on a sphere where the sides are great circle arcs. Lobachevsky developed hyperbolic geometry where the sum is less than 180 degrees.

  1. Right

  2. Equilateral

  3. Isosolese

  4. Scalene

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A triangle with sides 3, 4, and 5 satisfies the Pythagorean theorem: 5^2 = 25 = 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25. This makes it a right-angled triangle. It's not equilateral (all sides equal), not isosceles (two sides equal), and not scalene (all sides different - though technically it is scalene too, but the right angle is the defining property).

Multiple choice general knowledge science & technology
  1. Cotangent

  2. Cotton

  3. Collaborative

  4. Cotuition

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

In trigonometry, cot is the abbreviation for cotangent, which is defined as the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side in a right triangle (cos/sin). The other options (cotton, collaborative, cotuition) are not trigonometric terms. Cot 45° = 1 because at 45°, the adjacent and opposite sides are equal.

Multiple choice general knowledge math & puzzles
  1. euilateral triangle

  2. isoscelous triangle

  3. rightangle triangle

  4. rightangled isoscelos triangle

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

A triangle with angles 45°, 45°, 90° has two equal angles, making it isosceles. Since one angle is 90°, it's also right-angled. Combining these properties gives a right-angled isosceles triangle.
