- 1.A rhombus has all four sides equal in length. Write down how many pairs of parallel sides a rhombus has.
- 2.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.
- 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.Write down the name given to a triangle whose three sides are all the same length.
- 6.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.
- 7.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.
- 8.In parallelogram ABCD the vertices are labelled in order round the shape, so angle A and angle B are at the two ends of the same side. Angle A is 70°. Work out the size of angle B.
- 9.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.
- 10.Write down how many right angles a rectangle has.
- 11.Write down the name given to a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 12.Write down the name given to a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 13.Write down which one of these statements about quadrilaterals is true.
- 14.Write down which one of these quadrilaterals always has diagonals that are equal in length and that cross at right 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.
