- 1.A square tile has sides of length 4.5 cm. Work out the perimeter of the tile.
- 2.A rectangular garden gate is 3 m wide and 4 m high. A straight brace runs from one corner of the gate to the opposite corner. Work out the length of the brace.
- 3.Two similar shapes have lengths in the ratio 1 : 3. A side of the smaller shape is 4 cm long. Work out the length of the corresponding side of the larger shape.
- 4.How many vertices does a cuboid have?
- 5.A water tank is a cube with edges of length 2 m. Work out how many cubic centimetres the tank holds when it is full.
- 6.Point A is at (2, 3). It is translated by the vector (4, −1) to give point A′. Work out the coordinates of A′.
- 7.A right-angled triangle has its two shorter sides equal to 8 cm and 15 cm. Work out the value of cos θ, where θ is the angle opposite the 8 cm side. Give your answer as a fraction.
