2.A solid has 10 vertices and 15 edges. Using the formula F + V − E = 2, work out how many faces it has.
(a)7
(b)3
(c)5
(d)27
3.Triangles ABE and CDE share the vertex E, where lines AC and BD cross at E. AE equals CE, and BE equals DE. Angle AEB and angle CED are formed as vertically opposite angles where the lines cross. Which condition proves that triangle ABE is congruent to triangle CDE?
(a)ASA, vertically opposite angle at E
(b)Cannot prove — no angle measured
(c)SSS, three equal side pairs
(d)SAS, vertically opposite angle included
4.Triangle ABC has AB = 10 cm, BC = 7 cm and angle A = 40°. Triangle DEF has DE = 10 cm, EF = 7 cm and angle D = 40°. Sam says the two triangles are congruent by SAS. Which statement about Sam's claim is correct?
(a)Wrong - none of the sides or angles match
(b)Correct, but by ASA rather than SAS
(c)Correct - two sides and an angle match
(d)Wrong - the given angle is not the included angle

(c)(−4, 8)
(d)(8, 8)
7.e is the column vector with top number 5 and bottom number k. f is the column vector with top number 15 and bottom number 6. Given that f is 3 times e, work out the value of k.
(a)18
(b)9
(c)3
(d)2
8.In triangle ABC and triangle DEF, AB = DE, AC = DF, and the angle at A equals the angle at D. Write down the congruence condition that proves the two triangles are congruent.
(a)SSS

(c)4/3
(d)3/10
12.A flower bed in the shape of a parallelogram has a base of 3.5 m and a perpendicular height of 2 m. Compost costs £4.80 per m². Work out the total cost of covering the flower bed with compost.
(a)£7.00
(b)£33.60
(c)£26.40
