- 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 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?
- 3.A polygon has 12 straight sides. What is the mathematical name for this polygon?
- 4.A quadrilateral has both pairs of opposite sides parallel and equal in length, but none of its angles are right angles. Which statement about this quadrilateral is correct?
- 5.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?
- 6.In quadrilateral WXYZ, which of the following correctly names the angle at vertex Y using standard notation?
- 7.In triangle XYZ, the side opposite vertex X is labelled using the standard lowercase-letter convention. Which label is correct?
- 8.What does the statement AB = CD mean, where A, B, C and D are all points?
- 9.In geometry, which of the following best describes a 'plane'?
- 10.Which of the following is the correct definition of a regular polygon?
- 11.A triangular prism has two triangular faces and three rectangular faces. How many vertices does a triangular prism have?
- 12.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?
- 13.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?
- 14.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?
- 15.A regular polygon has 5 lines of symmetry. What is the order of rotational symmetry of this polygon?
