Q:

How can we get 24 as an answer by using 6, 11, 3 and 9?

Answer

This can be solved in two ways using only 6, 11, 9 and 3 we must get 24.


1. {[(11–6) x 3] + 9}



By solving this we get


5 x 3 + 9 = 15 + 9 = 24.


 


2. [(9–6) x (11–3)]


= 3 x 8 = 24.

Q:

Is a square a rhombus?

A) TRUE B) FALSE
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) TRUE

Explanation:

Yes, a square is a rhombus. But a rhombus is not a square unless the interior angles are at right angles.


 


We know that, a square is a quadrilateral with all sides equal and all the interior angles are 90 deg i.e, at right angles. 


Whereas


a rhombus is also a quadrilateral with all sides equal but the interior angles are not at right angles. Hence, if the interior angles of a rhombus are all at right angles (90 deg), then it is square.
