Geometric terms, notation and diagrams worksheet — GCSE Foundation

1.A polygon has one more side than a heptagon. What is the polygon called?

2.Which of the following correctly describes what it means for two lines to be perpendicular?

3.In quadrilateral WXYZ, which of the following correctly names the angle at vertex Y using standard notation?

4.A patio plan states: 'Side AB of the patio is parallel to side DC, and AB is longer than DC. Sides BC and AD are not parallel to each other and are not equal in length.' The four sides measure AB = 5.1 m, BC = 3.2 m, DC = 2.8 m and AD = 4.5 m. The tiler needs to order edging strip only for the sides that are not parallel to any other side. What total length of edging strip, in metres, should the tiler order?

5.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?

6.A rhombus has all four sides equal in length. Which statement about a rhombus is correct?

7.What does the statement AB = CD mean, where A, B, C and D are all points?

8.Which of these correctly compares a 'line' with a 'line segment'?

9.Which of the following is the correct definition of a regular polygon?

10.A quadrilateral has all four sides equal in length and all four interior angles equal to 90°. Its diagonals are equal in length and bisect each other at right angles. Which quadrilateral matches this description exactly?

11.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?

12.Lines AB and CD cross at a point, forming four right angles where they meet. Which notation correctly describes the relationship between AB and CD?

13.Point M lies exactly halfway between point A and point B, with A, M and B all on the same straight line. Which term correctly describes point M?

14.A regular polygon has 5 lines of symmetry. What is the order of rotational symmetry of this polygon?

15.A surveyor is marking out field ABCD for a new crop. The plan states that side AB is parallel to side DC, but AB and DC are not equal in length, and sides BC and AD are not parallel to each other. Which term correctly describes the shape of field ABCD?
