- 1.The three angles of a triangle are 10°, 58° and 112°. Write down the name that describes this triangle.
- 2.A rhombus has all four sides equal in length. Write down how many pairs of parallel sides a rhombus has.
- 3.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.
- 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 number of lines of symmetry a rhombus has.
- 6.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.
- 7.Quadrilateral PQRS has angle P = 92°, angle Q = 84° and angle R = 106°. Work out the size of angle S.
- 8.Write down which one of these statements about quadrilaterals is true.
- 9.Write down the mathematical name for a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- 10.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.
- 11.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.
- 12.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.
- 13.Write down which one of these quadrilaterals always has diagonals that are equal in length and that cross at right angles.
- 14.Write down how many right angles a right-angled triangle has.
- 15.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.
