- 1.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?
- 2.A triangular prism has two triangular faces and three rectangular faces. How many vertices does a triangular prism have?
- 3.Which of the following correctly describes what it means for two lines to be perpendicular?
- 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 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?
- 6.A surveyor is marking out field ABCD for a new crop. The plan states that side AB is parallel to side DC, but AB and DC are not equal in length, and sides BC and AD are not parallel to each other. Which term correctly describes the shape of field ABCD?
- 7.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?

- 9.Which of the following is the correct definition of a regular polygon?
