1.The perimeter of a square is 20 cm. Work out the area of the square.
(a)5 cm
(b)25 cm²
(c)100 cm²
(d)400 cm²
2.A sector of a circle has radius 10 cm and angle 150°. Using π = 3.14, work out the perimeter of the sector, to 1 decimal place.
(a)72.3 cm
(b)26.2 cm
(c)36.2 cm
(d)46.2 cm
3.Triangle ABC has AB = 6 cm and BC = 9 cm, with angle A = 40°. Triangle DEF has DE = 6 cm and EF = 9 cm, with angle D = 40°. Meera says these facts prove the triangles are congruent by SAS. Is Meera correct?
(a)Yes — two sides and one angle match
(b)No — the angle given is not the included angle
(c)No — SSS needs three equal sides, not two
(d)Yes — SAS allows any equal angle, not just the included one
