- 1.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?
- 2.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?
- 3.In geometry, which of the following best describes a 'plane'?
- 4.A rhombus has all four sides equal in length. Which statement about a rhombus is correct?
- 5.A regular polygon has 5 lines of symmetry. What is the order of rotational symmetry of this polygon?
- 6.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?
- 7.A polygon has 12 straight sides. What is the mathematical name for this polygon?
- 8.A polygon has 9 sides. What is the name of this polygon?
- 9.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?

- 11.In triangle XYZ, the side opposite vertex X is labelled using the standard lowercase-letter convention. Which label is correct?
- 12.What does the statement AB = CD mean, where A, B, C and D are all points?
- 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.Which of the following is the correct definition of a regular polygon?
- 15.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?
