2. How are vertically opposite angles formed?

Explanation

Vertically opposite angles are formed when two lines intersect each other, creating four angles that are opposite to each other.

Submit
3. What is a vertex?

Explanation

A vertex is a corner point where two or more lines meet. It is commonly represented by a dot in geometry.

Submit
4. What are perpendicular lines?

Explanation

Perpendicular lines are two lines that intersect at a 90-degree angle, forming a right angle. This relationship is a fundamental concept in geometry.

Submit
5. What is an adjacent angles?

Explanation

Adjacent angles are angles that share a common vertex and side but do not overlap. They are not opposite angles, angles that measure 180 degrees, or angles with the same origin.

Submit
6. Name all the different kinds of angles according to size in order from smallest to largest.

Explanation

The correct answer includes all the different kinds of angles according to size in order from smallest to largest. Oblique angle, Supplementary angle, and Complementary angle are not part of the sequence of angles based on their sizes.

Submit
7. What are parallel lines?

Explanation

Parallel lines are two lines that are always the same distance apart and will never intersect.

Submit
8. What is the difference between complementary angles and supplementary angles?

Explanation

Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees, while supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. The other incorrect answers provide misleading information or do not accurately differentiate between the two types of angles.

Submit
9. Identify angle 'a' and use an equation to represent this.

Explanation

In this question, we are asked to identify angle 'a' and represent it with an equation. The correct answer is a=60 degrees. This can be represented as a=60°.

Submit
10. Name each kind of angle associated with parallel lines, and a trick to remember each one.

Explanation

The correct answer provides a mnemonic device for each type of angle related to parallel lines. The incorrect answers misinterpret the types of angles and the mnemonic tricks associated with them.

Submit
11. Can the shapes which show angles in parallel lines be represented backwards?

Explanation

The correct answer is that shapes depicting angles in parallel lines can be represented in different orientations, as parallel lines extend in both directions.

Submit
12. What is a scalene triangle and how is it marked?

Explanation

A scalene triangle is defined by having all three different angles and three different side lengths, unlike equilateral or isosceles triangles. The marking of a scalene triangle involves indicating this diversity in lengths and sizes on each side and angle of the triangle.

Submit
13. What is an equilateral triangle and how is it marked?

Explanation

An equilateral triangle has all sides and angles equal, distinguishing it from other types of triangles such as isosceles or scalene. The marking of an equilateral triangle includes consistent angle markings and a singular line across each side, emphasizing its symmetry.

Submit
14. What is an isosceles triangle and how is it marked?

Explanation

An isosceles triangle specifically has 2 equal sides and 2 equal angles, different from equilateral and scalene triangles. The markings for an isosceles triangle include 2 same angle markings, one different angle marking, and double line markings on the equal sides, with a singular line marking on the uneven side.

Submit
15. How do you find an unknown exterior angle on a triangle?

Explanation

To find an unknown exterior angle on a triangle, you need to add the two interior angles that are furthest away from the triangle because exterior angles are supplementary to interior angles in a triangle.

Submit
16. What is a trapezium?

Explanation

A trapezium is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel lines. It is differentiated from other quadrilaterals by having exactly one pair of parallel sides.

Submit
17. What is a concave quadrilateral?

Explanation

A concave quadrilateral is defined by having at least one interior angle that is greater than 180 degrees, making it a reflex angle. The incorrect answers do not describe the defining characteristic of a concave quadrilateral.

Submit
18. What is a square?

Explanation

A square is a specific type of quadrilateral with unique properties compared to other shapes.

Submit
19. What is a rectangle?

Explanation

A rectangle is specifically defined as having four sides and four right angles with two sets of equal sides, unlike the incorrect answers provided.

Submit
20. What is a rhombus?

Explanation

A rhombus is a four-sided shape that has all sides of equal length and opposite angles are equal. It is not a circle, rectangle, or a triangle. The defining features of a rhombus include equal sides and opposite obtuse and acute angles.

Submit
21. What is a parallelogram?

Explanation

A parallelogram is a specific type of quadrilateral with distinct characteristics differentiating it from other shapes such as circles, three-dimensional shapes, and triangles.

Submit
22. How many sets of co-interior angles are in a trapezium?

Explanation

In a trapezium, there are two sets of co-interior angles where the sum of each pair of angles is equal to 180 degrees.

Submit
23. What is a rule for discovering the angle sum of a polygon: if n= number of sides and s=the angle sum of the shape?

Explanation

The correct formula for finding the angle sum of a polygon is obtained by subtracting 2 from the number of sides and multiplying the result by 180. This is a fundamental rule in geometry that applies to all polygons.

Submit
24. What kind of polygon is one with 7 sides?

Explanation

A polygon with 7 sides is specifically called a heptagon. It is important to distinguish between different polygon names based on the number of sides they have, such as hexagon (6 sides), octagon (8 sides), and pentagon (5 sides).

Submit
25. How many triangles can be formed by connecting the vertices of a dodecagon?

Explanation

Each vertex of a dodecagon (12-sided polygon) can be connected to every other vertex except for the adjacent ones, resulting in 10 triangles.

Submit
26. How many sides does a nonagon have?

Explanation

A nonagon is a polygon with nine sides, hence the correct answer is 9.

Submit
27. What is an octagon?

Explanation

An octagon is a polygon with eight sides, distinguishing it from other shapes or concepts mentioned in the incorrect answers.

Submit
28. How many vertices are in a pentagon?

Explanation

A pentagon has 5 sides, hence it also has 5 vertices. Each vertex connects two sides together.
