- 1.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.
- 2.Write down which one of these statements about quadrilaterals is true.
- 3.Write down the name given to a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 4.Write down the name given to a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 5.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.
- 6.Write down the mathematical name for a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 7.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.
- 8.A parallelogram has an area of 96 cm² and a base of 8 cm. Work out the perpendicular height of the parallelogram.
- 9.Write down which one of these quadrilaterals always has diagonals that are equal in length and that cross at right angles.
- 10.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.
- 11.The three angles of a triangle are 10°, 58° and 112°. Write down the name that describes this triangle.
- 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.In quadrilateral ABCD the two sides AB and BC are each 6 cm long and meet each other at B. The two sides CD and DA are each 9 cm long and meet each other at D. No side of ABCD is parallel to any other side. Write down the mathematical name of this quadrilateral.
- 14.A rhombus has all four sides equal in length. Write down how many pairs of parallel sides a rhombus has.
- 15.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.
