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