Sample Questions

1multiple choice

In parallelogram ABCD, the bisectors of adjacent angles A and D meet at P. What is angle APD?

Show answer

90°

Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary, so angle A + angle D = 180°. Their bisectors cut these angles into halves, so angle PAD + angle PDA = 90°. In triangle APD, the remaining angle APD must be 90°.

In parallelogram ABCD, X and Y are points on diagonal BD such that DX = BY. If BC = 12 cm and AD = 12 cm, what can be concluded about quadrilateral AXCY?

Show answer

It is a parallelogram

Using the given equal parts on diagonal BD and the equal opposite sides of a parallelogram, triangles can be shown congruent in two pairs. This gives AX = CY and AY = CX, so opposite sides of AXCY are equal. A quadrilateral with opposite sides equal is a parallelogram.

A trapezium ABCD has AB parallel to DC. If angle A is 115° and angle D is 65°, what is angle A + angle D?

Show answer

180°

Since AB is parallel to DC, angles A and D are co-interior angles. Co-interior angles on the same side of a transversal add up to 180°. So 115° + 65° = 180°.

A square has side length 8 cm. What is the perimeter?

Show answer

32 cm

All sides of a square are equal. Perimeter = 4 × side = 4 × 8 = 32 cm.
