- 1.A polygon has one more side than a heptagon. What is the polygon called?
- 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 geometry, which of the following best describes a 'plane'?
- 4.A polygon has 9 sides. What is the name of this polygon?
- 5.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?
- 6.Which of these correctly compares a 'line' with a 'line segment'?
- 7.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?
- 8.A rhombus has all four sides equal in length. Which statement about a rhombus is correct?
- 9.In triangle XYZ, the side opposite vertex X is labelled using the standard lowercase-letter convention. Which label is correct?
- 10.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?
- 11.In quadrilateral ABCD, side AB is parallel to side DC. Which statement correctly uses geometric notation to show this?
- 12.Which of the following is the correct definition of a regular polygon?
- 13.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?
- 14.Which of the following correctly describes what it means for two lines to be perpendicular?
- 15.A regular polygon has 5 lines of symmetry. What is the order of rotational symmetry of this polygon?
