- 1.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?
- 2.A regular polygon has 5 lines of symmetry. What is the order of rotational symmetry of this polygon?
- 3.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?
- 4.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?
- 5.A polygon has one more side than a heptagon. What is the polygon called?
- 6.In quadrilateral ABCD, side AB is parallel to side DC. Which statement correctly uses geometric notation to show this?
- 7.A polygon has 9 sides. What is the name of this polygon?
- 8.A triangular prism has two triangular faces and three rectangular faces. How many vertices does a triangular prism have?
- 9.An isosceles trapezium has exactly one pair of parallel sides, and its two non-parallel sides are equal in length. How many lines of symmetry does it have?
- 10.A rhombus has all four sides equal in length. Which statement about a rhombus is correct?
- 11.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?
- 12.Which of the following is the correct definition of a regular polygon?
- 13.Which of these correctly compares a 'line' with a 'line segment'?
- 14.What does the statement AB = CD mean, where A, B, C and D are all points?
