- 1.What does the statement AB = CD mean, where A, B, C and D are all points?
- 2.A polygon has 9 sides. What is the name of this polygon?
- 3.Which of the following is the correct definition of a regular polygon?
- 4.A textbook contains the instruction 'Draw AB' and, on the next line, the statement 'AB = 5 cm'. Which statement about the notation AB is correct?
- 5.In geometry, which of the following best describes a 'plane'?
- 6.A triangle has vertices X, Y and Z, with a right angle at Y. Side XY is twice as long as side YZ. Which of the following correctly describes this triangle?
- 7.A garden designer describes a flower bed as a shape with four straight sides: exactly one pair of sides is parallel, those two parallel sides are different lengths, and the other two sides are equal in length to each other but not parallel to each other. Which shape should the designer draw?
- 8.A written description of a diagram states: 'AB is marked with a single arrow, CD is marked with a single arrow, and EF is marked with a double arrow.' Using the standard convention for marking parallel lines, what can be concluded?
- 9.A quadrilateral has both pairs of opposite sides parallel and equal in length, but none of its angles are right angles. Which statement about this quadrilateral is correct?
- 10.A triangular prism has two triangular faces and three rectangular faces. How many vertices does a triangular prism have?
- 11.A tile manufacturer cuts a hexagonal tile so that all six sides measure exactly 4 cm, but a check shows only two pairs of the six interior angles are equal to each other, not all six angles. The customer's order specifies regular hexagonal tiles. Based on the check, is this tile a regular hexagon?
- 12.A regular polygon has 5 lines of symmetry. What is the order of rotational symmetry of this polygon?
- 13.A rhombus has all four sides equal in length, but it is not a square — its angles are not all 90°. How many lines of symmetry does this rhombus have?
- 14.Which of these correctly compares a 'line' with a 'line segment'?
- 15.In quadrilateral WXYZ, which of the following correctly names the angle at vertex Y using standard notation?
