- 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 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?
- 3.A polygon has 12 straight sides. What is the mathematical name for this polygon?
- 4.What does the statement AB = CD mean, where A, B, C and D are all points?
- 5.A polygon has 9 sides. What is the name of this polygon?
- 6.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?
- 7.A regular polygon has 5 lines of symmetry. What is the order of rotational symmetry of this polygon?
- 8.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?
- 9.In geometry, which of the following best describes a 'plane'?
- 10.In quadrilateral WXYZ, which of the following correctly names the angle at vertex Y using standard notation?
- 11.A quadrilateral has two pairs of parallel sides. All four of its interior angles are right angles, but its sides are not all the same length. Which quadrilateral is this?
- 12.Which of these correctly compares a 'line' with a 'line segment'?
- 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 polygon has one more side than a heptagon. What is the polygon called?
- 15.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?
