- 1.Write down how many right angles a right-angled triangle has.
- 2.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.
- 3.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.
- 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.Write down the name given to a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 6.In an isosceles triangle each of the two base angles is 46°. Work out the size of the angle at the apex.
- 7.Write down how many right angles a rectangle has.
- 8.Write down the number of lines of symmetry a rhombus has.
- 9.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.
- 10.A quadrilateral has exactly two lines of symmetry, its two pairs of opposite angles are equal, and its diagonals are not equal in length. Write down the name of this quadrilateral.
- 11.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.
- 12.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.
- 13.Write down the name given to a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 14.Write down the mathematical name for a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 15.Write down the name given to a triangle whose three sides are all the same length.
