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