- 1.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?
- 2.In triangle XYZ, the side opposite vertex X is labelled using the standard lowercase-letter convention. Which label is correct?
- 3.Which of the following is the correct definition of a regular polygon?
- 4.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?
- 5.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?
- 6.In quadrilateral WXYZ, which of the following correctly names the angle at vertex Y using standard notation?
- 7.A polygon has one more side than a heptagon. What is the polygon called?
- 8.A triangular prism has two triangular faces and three rectangular faces. How many vertices does a triangular prism have?
- 9.Which of these correctly compares a 'line' with a 'line segment'?
- 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 pentagon PQRST, which of the following correctly names the interior angle at vertex R, using standard three-letter angle notation?
- 12.What does the statement AB = CD mean, where A, B, C and D are all points?
- 13.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?
- 14.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?
- 15.A regular polygon has 5 lines of symmetry. What is the order of rotational symmetry of this polygon?
