  1. A polygon with 6 sides is called a:

    Answer: Hexagon

    A hexagon has exactly 6 sides; 'hex' is the Greek prefix for six.

  2. If one angle of a right triangle is 30°, what is the third angle?

    Answer: 60°

    The three angles sum to 180°: 90° + 30° + x = 180°, so x = 60°.

  3. What is the area of a circle with radius 5? (Use π ≈ 3.14)

    Answer: 78.5

    Area = πr² = 3.14 × 5² = 3.14 × 25 = 78.5.

  4. Which transformation slides a figure to a new position without rotating or flipping it?

    Answer: Translation

    A translation moves every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction.

  5. The longest side of a right triangle is called the:

    Answer: Hypotenuse

    The hypotenuse is always the side opposite the right angle and is the longest side.

  6. A rectangle has a perimeter of 26 cm and a width of 5 cm. What is its length?

    Answer: 8 cm

    Perimeter = 2(l + w): 26 = 2(l + 5), so l + 5 = 13, and l = 8 cm.
