- 1.Two sides of a triangle are 20 cm and 8 cm long. Write down which one of these lengths is possible for the third side.
- 2.A picture frame is a rhombus with a diagonal of 16 cm and a diagonal of 12 cm. The two diagonals meet at right angles at their midpoints. Work out the length of one side of the rhombus.
- 3.Write down how many right angles a rectangle has.
- 4.A quadrilateral has exactly two lines of symmetry, its two pairs of opposite angles are equal, and its diagonals are not equal in length. Write down the name of this quadrilateral.
- 5.In an isosceles triangle each of the two base angles is 46°. Work out the size of the angle at the apex.
- 6.Write down the name given to a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 7.Write down the name given to a triangle whose three sides are all the same length.
- 8.A stained-glass window panel is designed as a kite. Two adjacent sides are each 25 cm, and the other two adjacent sides are each 40 cm. A frame is fitted around the whole panel. The frame costs £2.50 per metre, sold only in whole metres. Work out the total cost of the frame.
- 9.Write down how many right angles a right-angled triangle has.
- 10.Two sides of a triangle are 9 cm and 15 cm long. Write down which one of these lengths is possible for the third side.
- 11.Write down the mathematical name for a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 12.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.
- 13.A rhombus has all four sides equal in length. Write down how many pairs of parallel sides a rhombus has.
- 14.The three angles of a triangle are 10°, 58° and 112°. Write down the name that describes this triangle.
- 15.Quadrilateral PQRS has angle P = 92°, angle Q = 84° and angle R = 106°. Work out the size of angle S.
