Geometric terms, notation and diagrams worksheet — GCSE Foundation

1.A sign-maker is told a metal bracket outline must have two pairs of adjacent sides equal in length (not opposite pairs), exactly one pair of opposite angles equal, and exactly one line of symmetry. Which quadrilateral matches this description?

2.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?

3.In quadrilateral ABCD, side AB is parallel to side DC. Which statement correctly uses geometric notation to show this?

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

5.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?

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

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

8.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?

9.In geometry, which of the following best describes a 'plane'?

10.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?

11.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?

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

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

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

15.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?
