- 1.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.
- 2.Write down the mathematical name for a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 3.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.
- 4.Write down the name given to a triangle whose three sides are all the same length.
- 5.Write down the number of lines of symmetry a rhombus has.
- 6.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.
- 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.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.
- 10.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.
- 11.Quadrilateral WXYZ has WX parallel to ZY, and WZ = XY (the two non-parallel sides are equal in length). Give a reason why angle W = angle X.
- 12.In an isosceles triangle each of the two base angles is 46°. Work out the size of the angle at the apex.
- 13.Write down the name given to a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 14.Write down how many right angles a right-angled triangle has.
- 15.Write down which one of these statements about quadrilaterals is true.
