- 1.Write down how many right angles a right-angled triangle has.
- 2.Write down how many right angles a rectangle has.
- 3.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.
- 4.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.
- 5.Write down the number of lines of symmetry a rhombus has.
- 6.The three angles of a triangle are 10°, 58° and 112°. Write down the name that describes this triangle.
- 7.Write down the name given to a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 8.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.
- 9.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.
- 10.Quadrilateral PQRS has angle P = 92°, angle Q = 84° and angle R = 106°. Work out the size of angle S.
- 11.Write down which one of these quadrilaterals always has diagonals that are equal in length and that cross at right angles.
- 12.A parallelogram has an area of 96 cm² and a base of 8 cm. Work out the perpendicular height of the parallelogram.
- 13.Write down the name given to a triangle whose three sides are all the same length.
- 14.A rhombus has all four sides equal in length. Write down how many pairs of parallel sides a rhombus has.
- 15.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.
