Geometric Designs Practice Problems

1. The document contains 20 practice problems about geometric shapes. The problems ask students to identify shapes based on their properties, determine relationships between different types of shapes, and apply definitions of shapes. 2. One problem asks which child is correct in a debate about whether a square is a rectangle. The first child says it is because a square meets the definition of a rectangle, while the second disagrees. 3. Other problems involve identifying shapes within designs, determining intersections and unions of sets of shapes, naming shapes based on given properties, and applying definitions of shapes.

Practice Problems

1
Find three objects in your classroom with surfaces that suggests common geometric figures.

2
A fifth grader says a square is not a rectangle because a square has four congruent sides and
rectangles don’t have that. A second fifth grader says a square is a type of rectangle because it is
a parallelogram and it has four right angles.

(a) Which child is right?


(b) How can you use the definitions to help the other child understand?

3
Suppose P={parallelograms}, Rh={rhombus}, S={squares}, Re={rectangles},
T={trapezoids}, and Q={quadrilaterals}. Find
(a) Rh ∩ Re (b) T ∩ P

4
Organize the sets P, Rh, S, Re, T, and Q using Venn diagram.

5
(a) True or false? No scalene triangle is isosceles.
(b) What shape is the diamond in a deck of cards?
6
How many squares are in the following design?

7
Tell whether each of the following shapes must, can, or cannot have at least one right angle.

(a) Rhombus
(b) Square
(c) Trapezoid
(d) Rectangle
(e) Parallelogram

8
In which of the following shapes are both pairs of opposite sides parallel?
(a) Rhombus
(b) Square
(c) Trapezoid
(d) Rectangle
(e) Parallelogram

9
A square is also which of the following?
(a) Quadrilateral
(b) Parallelogram
(c) Rhombus
(d) Rectangle

10
Fill in the blank with “All”, “Some”, or “No”
(a)rectangles are squares.
(b)parallelograms are trapezoids. (c)rhombuses are quadrilaterals.

11
How many triangles are in the following design?

12
How many squares are found in the following figure?

13
Given are a variety of triangles. Sides with the same length are indicated. Right angles are
indicated.
(a) Name the triangles that are scalene.
(b) Name the triangles that are isosceles.
(c) Name the triangles that are equilateral.
(d) Name the triangles that contain a right angle.

14
(a) How many triangles are in the figure?
(b) How many parallelograms are in the figure?(c) How many trapezoids are in the figure?

15
If possible, sketch two parallelograms that intersect at exactly
(a) one point
(b) two points
(c) three points(d) four points.

16
If possible, draw a triangle and a quadrilateral that intersect at exactly
(a) one point
(b) two points(c) three points.

17
Suppose P={parallelograms}, S={squares}, T={trapezoids}, and Q={quadrilaterals}. Find

(a) P ∩ S
(b) P ∪ Q

18
A fifth grader does not think that a rectangle is a type of parallelogram. Tell why it is.
19
Tell whether each definition has sufficient information. If it is not sufficient, tell what
information is missing.
(a) A rhombus is a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel.
