- 1.In an isosceles triangle each of the two base angles is 46°. Work out the size of the angle at the apex.
- 2.A tile is described as having two pairs of parallel sides, four equal sides, and diagonals that cross at right angles but are not equal in length. Give a reason why this tile cannot be a square.
- 3.Write down the name given to a triangle whose three sides are all the same length.
- 4.A triangular bunting flag has two equal sides. The angle between those two equal sides is 80°, and the other two angles of the flag are equal to each other. Work out the size of each of the two equal angles.
- 5.Write down the name given to a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 6.Write down the name given to a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 7.A parallelogram has an area of 96 cm² and a base of 8 cm. Work out the perpendicular height of the parallelogram.
- 8.Write down how many right angles a rectangle has.
- 9.A garden bed is designed as a trapezium. The two parallel sides are 8 m and 12 m, and the perpendicular distance between them is 5 m. Grass seed covers 4 m² per bag, sold only in whole bags. Work out how many bags of grass seed are needed.
- 10.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.
- 11.Write down which one of these quadrilaterals always has diagonals that are equal in length and that cross at right angles.
- 12.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.
- 13.Write down which one of these statements about quadrilaterals is true.
- 14.Write down how many right angles a right-angled triangle has.
- 15.Write down the mathematical name for a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides.
