Card 2Circles and Compass

How do you use a compass to draw a circle of radius 4 cm?

Answer

Card 3Rectangles

What are the two properties that define a rectangle?

Answer

R1) The opposite sides are equal in length. R2) All the angles are 90°. These two properties distinguish a rectangle from other quadrilaterals.

Card 4Squares

What are the two properties that define a square?

Answer

S1) All the sides are equal in length. S2) All the angles are 90°. A square is a special rectangle where all sides are equal.

Card 5Naming Rectangles

If a rectangle ABCD has vertices A, B, C, D, which of these are valid names: BCDA, ABDC, CDAB, ACBD?

Answer

Valid names: BCDA, CDAB. Invalid names: ABDC, ACBD. Valid names follow the order of travel around the rectangle starting from any corner. Invalid names skip corners or don't follow the perimeter order

Card 6Rotated Figures

Does rotating a square or rectangle change its geometric properties?

Answer

No, rotating a square or rectangle does not change its properties. The side lengths remain the same, and all angles remain 90°. A rotated square is still a square, and a rotated rectangle is still a r

Card 7Square Construction

What steps do you follow to construct a square with side length 6 cm?

Answer

1. Draw a line segment AB of 6 cm. 2. At point A, construct a perpendicular line. 3. Mark point D at 6 cm from A on this perpendicular. 4. At point B, construct a perpendicular line. 5. Mark point C a

Card 8Rectangle Construction

How do you construct a rectangle with sides 4 cm and 6 cm?

Answer

1. Draw line segment AB of 4 cm. 2. At A, draw perpendicular line and mark point D at 6 cm. 3. At B, draw perpendicular line and mark point C at 6 cm. 4. Join CD to complete rectangle ABCD. Verify: op
