- 1.A polygon has 12 straight sides. What is the mathematical name for this polygon?
- 2.In quadrilateral ABCD, side AB is parallel to side DC. Which statement correctly uses geometric notation to show this?
- 3.Which of these correctly compares a 'line' with a 'line segment'?
- 4.A polygon has 9 sides. What is the name of this polygon?
- 5.In quadrilateral WXYZ, which of the following correctly names the angle at vertex Y using standard notation?
- 6.A polygon has one more side than a heptagon. What is the polygon called?
- 7.What does the statement AB = CD mean, where A, B, C and D are all points?
- 8.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?
- 9.In pentagon PQRST, which of the following correctly names the interior angle at vertex R, using standard three-letter angle notation?
- 10.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?
- 11.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?
- 12.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?
- 13.A regular polygon has 5 lines of symmetry. What is the order of rotational symmetry of this polygon?
