- 1.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.
- 2.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.
- 3.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.
- 4.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.
- 5.A rhombus has all four sides equal in length. Write down how many pairs of parallel sides a rhombus has.
- 6.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.
- 7.Write down the name given to a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 8.Write down which one of these statements about quadrilaterals is true.
- 9.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.
- 10.The three angles of a triangle are 10°, 58° and 112°. Write down the name that describes this triangle.
- 11.Write down how many right angles a right-angled triangle has.
- 12.Write down which one of these quadrilaterals always has diagonals that are equal in length and that cross at right angles.
- 13.Write down the name given to a triangle whose three sides are all the same length.
- 14.Write down the number of lines of symmetry a rhombus has.
- 15.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.
