- 1.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?
- 2.A polygon has 9 sides. What is the name of this polygon?
- 3.In quadrilateral WXYZ, which of the following correctly names the angle at vertex Y using standard notation?
- 4.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?
- 5.A regular polygon has 5 lines of symmetry. What is the order of rotational symmetry of this polygon?
- 6.A polygon has one more side than a heptagon. What is the polygon called?
- 7.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?
- 8.A triangular prism has two triangular faces and three rectangular faces. How many vertices does a triangular prism have?
- 9.Which of the following correctly describes what it means for two lines to be perpendicular?
- 10.What does the statement AB = CD mean, where A, B, C and D are all points?

- 12.Which of these correctly compares a 'line' with a 'line segment'?
- 13.A polygon has 12 straight sides. What is the mathematical name for this polygon?
