Sample Questions

1multiple correct

Which of the following shapes can tessellate (fit together without gaps)?

Show answer

Regular triangles, Squares, Regular hexagons

Regular triangles (6 × 60° = 360°), squares (4 × 90° = 360°), and hexagons (3 × 120° = 360°) can tessellate because their angles fit perfectly around a point. Pentagons and octagons cannot tessellate alone.

2multiple correct

In an isosceles triangle, which of the following are always equal?

Show answer

Two sides, Two angles

An isosceles triangle has exactly two equal sides and two equal angles (the base angles). The angles opposite to the equal sides are equal. It's not equilateral (all sides equal).

3multiple choice

In a kite shape, which sides are equal?

Show answer

Adjacent sides

In a kite, two pairs of adjacent (touching) sides are equal. For example, if sides are numbered 1,2,3,4 going around, then side 1 = side 2 and side 3 = side 4. This is different from parallelograms where opposite sides are equal.

4multiple choice

How many regular hexagons can fit around a point without gaps?

Show answer

3

Each angle of a regular hexagon is 120°. Around a point, angles must sum to 360°. So 360° ÷ 120° = 3 hexagons can fit around a point. This is why hexagons tessellate perfectly, like in honeycombs.
