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:
A quadrilateral has exactly 4 sides and 4 vertices.
A rectangle has 4 right angles; a rhombus has 4 equal sides.
A square has 4 equal sides and 4 right angles, so it is both a rectangle and a rhombus.
Cutting a shape into 4 equal-area parts makes each part \(\frac{1}{4}\) of the whole.
Equal parts can have different shapes if their areas are equal.
