Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 7.118 Common geometry misconceptions and corrections skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A cube has edge length 0.5 m. A student writes surface area = 6 × 0.5 = 3 m³. Which choice best identifies the error and gives the corrected surface area and unit?

AThe student found surface area correctly; 3 m³ is correct.

BThe student should find volume; the corrected surface area is 0.125 m².

CThe student should multiply by 12; the corrected surface area is 6 m².

DThe student did not square the edge length and used cubic units; the corrected surface area is 6 × (0.5)² = 1.5 m².

Solution & Explanation:Each face of the cube has area 0.5 × 0.5 = 0.25 m². Six faces give 6 × 0.25 = 1.5 m², and surface area uses square units.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A triangular prism has a right-triangle base with legs 9 cm and 12 cm, and the prism length is 7 cm. A student uses the hypotenuse 15 cm as the height and writes volume = (1/2)(9)(15)(7) = 472.5 cm³. Which choice best identifies the error and gives the corrected volume?

AThe student found the volume correctly; 472.5 cm³ is correct.

BThe student should multiply all three side lengths; the corrected volume is 945 cm³.

CThe student used the hypotenuse instead of the perpendicular leg; the corrected volume is (1/2)(9)(12)(7) = 378 cm³.

DThe student should use surface area; the corrected volume is 204 cm².

Solution & Explanation:The triangular base area uses perpendicular legs 9 and 12. The base area is 54 cm², and the volume is 54 × 7 = 378 cm³.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A regular octagon has 8 sides. A student says each exterior angle is 135 degrees because each interior angle is 135 degrees. Which choice best identifies the error and gives the corrected exterior angle?

AThe student is correct because exterior and interior angles are equal in a regular polygon.

BThe student confused interior and exterior angles; each exterior angle is 360 / 8 = 45 degrees.

CThe student should use 180 / 8; each exterior angle is 22.5 degrees.

DThe student should add 135 and 45; each exterior angle is 180 degrees.

Solution & Explanation:The exterior angles of a convex polygon always sum to 360 degrees. For a regular octagon, each exterior angle is 360 / 8 = 45 degrees.
