- 1.A parallelogram has an area of 96 cm² and a base of 8 cm. Work out the perpendicular height of the parallelogram.
- 2.Write down the mathematical name for a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 3.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.
- 4.In an isosceles triangle each of the two base angles is 46°. Work out the size of the angle at the apex.
- 5.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.
- 6.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.
- 7.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.
- 8.Quadrilateral PQRS has angle P = 92°, angle Q = 84° and angle R = 106°. Work out the size of angle S.
- 9.Write down how many right angles a rectangle has.
- 10.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.
- 11.Write down which one of these statements about quadrilaterals is true.
- 12.Write down the name given to a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 13.Write down the name given to a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 14.A rhombus has all four sides equal in length. Write down how many pairs of parallel sides a rhombus has.
- 15.The three angles of a triangle are 10°, 58° and 112°. Write down the name that describes this triangle.
