1.A regular polygon has an exterior angle of 45°. Work out the number of sides of the polygon.
(a)4
(b)45
(c)8
(d)315
2.Work out the exact value of tan 30° + tan 30°.
(a)2√3/3
(b)√3/3
(c)√3
(d)2√3
3.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
4.The column vector r has top number 2 and bottom number 6. Which of these column vectors is parallel to r?
(a)(3, 9)
(b)(6, 2)
(c)(2, 3)
(d)(−2, 6)
5.A triangular badge has two sides of length 8 cm and a third side of length 5 cm. Work out the perimeter of the badge.
(a)13 cm
(b)16 cm
(c)21 cm
(d)24 cm

(a)1 hour 15 minutes
(b)1 hour 35 minutes
(c)2 hours 15 minutes
(d)2 hours 25 minutes
7.A roof has two triangular sections, P and Q. Section P has a sloping edge of 3.6 m and a base edge of 2.4 m, with an angle of 70° between them. Section Q has a sloping edge of 3.6 m and a base edge of 2.4 m, with an angle of 70° between them, arranged the same way round. A roofer wants to cut identical triangular felt panels for both sections without measuring Section Q separately. Which condition confirms that the two sections are congruent?
(a)ASA — angle between two sides
(b)SSS — but only two sides given
(c)Cannot prove — only one angle
(d)SAS — two sides, included angle
8.Point C is at (2, 3). It is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin. Work out the coordinates of the image of point C.
(a)(3, 2)
(b)(3, −2)
(c)(−3, 2)
(d)(−2, −3)
