How does this quiz work?
Read each question, choose one answer among A, B, C and D, then check it: a short explanation appears after every answer. Your score out of 10 is shown at the end, and you can restart the quiz as often as you like.
What should you review before the quiz?
Reread the key facts of the lesson and the worked example. If a question is hard, go back to the matching part of the lesson, then try the quiz again. Write your work on scrap paper: most mistakes come from skipping a step, not from the idea itself.
Remember:
Triangles are classified by sides (equilateral, isosceles, scalene) and by angles (acute, right, obtuse).
A parallelogram has both pairs of opposite sides parallel; a trapezoid has at least one pair.
A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles, and a rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal sides.
A square is both a rectangle and a rhombus, so it has every attribute of both.
Attributes of a category belong to all shapes in its subcategories.
