- 1.Write down how many right angles a rectangle has.
- 2.Write down the number of lines of symmetry a rhombus has.
- 3.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.
- 4.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.
- 5.A rhombus has all four sides equal in length. Write down how many pairs of parallel sides a rhombus has.
- 6.Write down how many right angles a right-angled triangle has.
- 7.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.
- 8.Write down the name given to a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 9.Write down which one of these quadrilaterals always has diagonals that are equal in length and that cross at right angles.
- 10.Quadrilateral PQRS has angle P = 92°, angle Q = 84° and angle R = 106°. Work out the size of angle S.
- 11.In an isosceles triangle each of the two base angles is 46°. Work out the size of the angle at the apex.
- 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.The cross-section of a tent is an isosceles triangle. The angle at the top, between the two equal sloping sides, is 62°. The other two angles are equal to each other. Work out the size of each of those two angles.
- 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.
