- 1.Which of these correctly compares a 'line' with a 'line segment'?
- 2.A regular polygon has 5 lines of symmetry. What is the order of rotational symmetry of this polygon?
- 3.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?
- 4.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?
- 5.A triangular prism has two triangular faces and three rectangular faces. How many vertices does a triangular prism have?
- 6.In quadrilateral WXYZ, which of the following correctly names the angle at vertex Y using standard notation?
- 7.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?
- 8.A polygon has 12 straight sides. What is the mathematical name for this polygon?
- 9.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?
- 10.What does the statement AB = CD mean, where A, B, C and D are all points?
- 11.A polygon has one more side than a heptagon. What is the polygon called?
- 12.A triangle has vertices X, Y and Z, with a right angle at Y. Side XY is twice as long as side YZ. Which of the following correctly describes this triangle?
- 13.A polygon has 9 sides. What is the name of this polygon?
- 14.A tile manufacturer cuts a hexagonal tile so that all six sides measure exactly 4 cm, but a check shows only two pairs of the six interior angles are equal to each other, not all six angles. The customer's order specifies regular hexagonal tiles. Based on the check, is this tile a regular hexagon?
- 15.A rhombus has all four sides equal in length. Which statement about a rhombus is correct?
