Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Shape Properties
Which of the following shapes is NOT a quadrilateral?
Triangle
Square
Rhombus
Kite
Rectangle
Triangle
A quadrilateral is any two-dimensional shape with sides. The only shape listed that does not have
sides is a triangle.
Example Question #2 : Shape Properties
What is the main difference between a square and a rectangle?
Their side lengths
Their angle measurments
Their color
The sum of their angles
The number of sides they each have
Their side lengths
The only difference between a rectangle and a square is their side lengths. A square has to have equal side lengths, but the opposite side lengths of a rectangle only have to be equal.
Example Question #1 : Understand Categories And Subcategories Of Two Dimensional Figures: Ccss.Math.Content.5.G.B.3
What two shapes can a square be classified as?
Trapezoid and Rhombus
Rectangle and Triangle
Rhombus and Triangle
Rectangle and Rhombus
Trapezoid and Triangle
Rectangle and Rhombus
A square can also be a rectangle and a rhombus because a rectangle has to have at least sets of equal side lengths and a rhombus has to have
equal side lengths, like a square, and at least
sets of equal angles.
Example Question #2 : Shape Properties
What is the main difference between a triangle and a rectangle?
The color
The length of the sides
The volume
The area
The number of sides
The number of sides
Out of the choices given, the only characteristic used to describe shapes is the number of sides. A triangle has sides and a rectangle has
sides.
Example Question #3 : Shape Properties
Which two shapes have to have right angles?
Square and Rhombus
Rectangle and Parallelogram
Rectangle and Rhombus
Square and Parallelogram
Square and Rectangle
Square and Rectangle
By definition, the only two quadrilaterals that have to have right angles, are the square and the rectangle.
Example Question #4 : Shape Properties
Which of the shapes is NOT a quadrilateral?
Trapezoid
Rhombus
Hexagon
Rectangle
Square
Hexagon
A quadrilateral is a sided shape. The only shape listed that does not have
sides is a hexagon, which has
sides.
Example Question #5 : Shape Properties
Which of the following shapes is NOT a parallelogram?
Square
Kite
Rhombus
Rectangle
Kite
A rectangle, square, and rhombus can all be classified as a parallelogram because each shape has opposite side lengths that are equal. A kite does not.
Example Question #7 : Shape Properties
What is the difference between a trapezoid and a isosceles trapezoid?
A trapezoid has to have equal side lengths
A trapezoid has to have equal base angles
There is no difference between them
An isosceles trapezoid has to have equal side lengths
An isosceles trapezoid has to have equal base angles
An isosceles trapezoid has to have equal base angles
By definition, an isosceles trapezoid has to have equal base angles, but a trapezoid does not have to have equal angles.
Example Question #1051 : Ssat Upper Level Quantitative (Math)
Which shape is NOT a quadrilateral?
Trapezoid
Rhombus
Circle
Rectangle
Kite
Circle
A quadrilateral has to have sides, a circle does not have any sides.
Example Question #5 : Understand Categories And Subcategories Of Two Dimensional Figures: Ccss.Math.Content.5.G.B.3
What is the main difference between a right triangle and an isosceles triangle?
A right triangle has to have a angle and an isosceles triangle has to have
equal, base angles.
A right triangle has to have a angle and an isosceles triangle has to have
equal, base angles.
A right triangle has to have a angle and an isosceles triangle has to have
equal, base angles.
An isosceles triangle has to have a angle and a right triangle has to have
equal, base angles.
A right triangle has to have a angle and an isosceles triangle has to have
equal, base angles.
A right triangle has to have a angle and an isosceles triangle has to have
equal, base angles.
By definition, a right triangle has to have one right angle, or a angle, and an isosceles triangle has
equal base angles and two equal side lengths.
