- 1.Which of the following correctly describes what it means for two lines to be perpendicular?
- 2.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?
- 3.In geometry, which of the following best describes a 'plane'?
- 4.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?
- 5.What does the statement AB = CD mean, where A, B, C and D are all points?
- 6.A polygon has 9 sides. What is the name of this polygon?
- 7.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?
- 8.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?
- 9.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?
- 10.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?
- 11.A regular polygon has 5 lines of symmetry. What is the order of rotational symmetry of this polygon?
- 12.In pentagon PQRST, which of the following correctly names the interior angle at vertex R, using standard three-letter angle notation?
- 13.A polygon has 12 straight sides. What is the mathematical name for this polygon?
- 14.A polygon has one more side than a heptagon. What is the polygon called?
- 15.In quadrilateral ABCD, side AB is parallel to side DC. Which statement correctly uses geometric notation to show this?
