- 1.A parallelogram has an area of 96 cm² and a base of 8 cm. Work out the perpendicular height of the parallelogram.
- 2.A rhombus has all four sides equal in length. Write down how many pairs of parallel sides a rhombus has.
- 3.The three angles of a triangle are 10°, 58° and 112°. Write down the name that describes this triangle.
- 4.ABCD is an isosceles trapezium. The sides AB and DC are parallel, and the two sloping sides AD and BC are equal in length. Angle D is 112°. Work out the size of angle B.
- 5.Quadrilateral PQRS has angle P = 92°, angle Q = 84° and angle R = 106°. Work out the size of angle S.
- 6.Quadrilateral WXYZ has WX parallel to ZY, and WZ = XY (the two non-parallel sides are equal in length). Give a reason why angle W = angle X.
- 7.Write down which one of these quadrilaterals always has diagonals that are equal in length and that cross at right angles.
- 8.In a kite, one pair of opposite angles are equal in size. In kite WXYZ, angle X = 40° and angle Z = 100° are the two angles that are NOT equal to each other. The other two angles, W and Y, are equal to each other. Work out the size of angle W.
- 9.Write down the mathematical name for a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 10.A trapezium-shaped allotment plot has two parallel sides that face each other, and two sloping sides that are equal in length (an isosceles trapezium). One of the angles next to the shorter parallel side is 118°. Work out the angle next to the other end of the same shorter parallel side.
- 11.Write down the name given to a triangle whose three sides are all the same length.
- 12.Write down the name given to a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 13.In an isosceles triangle each of the two base angles is 46°. Work out the size of the angle at the apex.
- 14.In kite WXYZ, WX = WZ and XY = ZY (so at each of X and Z, one side from each of the two unequal pairs meets). Angle X = 100°. Work out angle Z.
- 15.Write down how many right angles a rectangle has.
