- 1.A polygon has one more side than a heptagon. What is the polygon called?
- 2.What does the statement AB = CD mean, where A, B, C and D are all points?
- 3.In pentagon PQRST, which of the following correctly names the interior angle at vertex R, using standard three-letter angle notation?
- 4.A polygon has 9 sides. What is the name of this polygon?
- 5.A rhombus has all four sides equal in length. Which statement about a rhombus is correct?
- 6.Which of the following is the correct definition of a regular polygon?
- 7.In geometry, which of the following best describes a 'plane'?
- 8.A textbook contains the instruction 'Draw AB' and, on the next line, the statement 'AB = 5 cm'. Which statement about the notation AB is correct?
- 9.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?
- 10.Which of the following correctly describes what it means for two lines to be perpendicular?
- 11.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?
- 12.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?
- 13.A patio plan states: 'Side AB of the patio is parallel to side DC, and AB is longer than DC. Sides BC and AD are not parallel to each other and are not equal in length.' The four sides measure AB = 5.1 m, BC = 3.2 m, DC = 2.8 m and AD = 4.5 m. The tiler needs to order edging strip only for the sides that are not parallel to any other side. What total length of edging strip, in metres, should the tiler order?
- 14.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?
- 15.In quadrilateral ABCD, side AB is parallel to side DC. Which statement correctly uses geometric notation to show this?
