- 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 rhombus has all four sides equal in length. Which statement about a rhombus is correct?
- 3.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?
- 4.Which of the following correctly describes what it means for two lines to be perpendicular?
- 5.In quadrilateral ABCD, side AB is parallel to side DC. Which statement correctly uses geometric notation to show this?
- 6.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?
- 7.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?
- 8.A polygon has 9 sides. What is the name of this polygon?
- 9.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?
- 10.A regular polygon has 5 lines of symmetry. What is the order of rotational symmetry of this polygon?
- 11.In geometry, which of the following best describes a 'plane'?
- 12.A polygon has 12 straight sides. What is the mathematical name for this polygon?
- 13.A polygon has one more side than a heptagon. What is the polygon called?
- 14.In quadrilateral WXYZ, which of the following correctly names the angle at vertex Y using standard notation?
- 15.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?
