- 1.A triangular prism has two triangular faces and three rectangular faces. How many vertices does a triangular prism have?
- 2.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?
- 3.Which of the following correctly describes what it means for two lines to be perpendicular?
- 4.Which of these correctly compares a 'line' with a 'line segment'?
- 5.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?
- 6.A polygon has one more side than a heptagon. What is the polygon called?
- 7.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?
- 8.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?
- 9.In quadrilateral WXYZ, which of the following correctly names the angle at vertex Y using standard notation?
- 10.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?
- 11.A polygon has 9 sides. What is the name of this polygon?
- 12.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?
- 13.What does the statement AB = CD mean, where A, B, C and D are all points?
- 14.In quadrilateral ABCD, side AB is parallel to side DC. Which statement correctly uses geometric notation to show this?
