  1. A scale drawing uses a scale of 1 cm : 5 m. A wall is 8 cm long in the drawing. What is the actual length? — 40 m. 8 cm × 5 = 40 m. Multiply drawing length by the scale factor.
  2. What does the scale 1 : 100 mean? — Every 1 unit in the drawing equals 100 units in reality. A scale of 1:100 means every 1 unit in the drawing represents 100 units in actual size.
  3. A map has a scale of 1 in = 25 miles. Two cities are 3 inches apart on the map. What is the actual distance? — 75 miles. 3 × 25 = 75 miles. Multiply map distance by scale factor.
  4. A floor plan is drawn at a scale of 1 cm : 4 m. If a room is 3 cm × 5 cm on the plan, what are the actual dimensions? — 12 m × 20 m. 3 cm × 4 = 12 m; 5 cm × 4 = 20 m. Actual room is 12 m × 20 m.
  5. A scale drawing uses the scale 2 cm : 1 km. How many cm on the drawing represent 5 km? — 10 cm. 5 km × (2 cm / 1 km) = 10 cm on the drawing.
  6. On a blueprint, 1 inch represents 8 feet. A hallway is 3.5 inches on the blueprint. How long is the actual hallway? — 28 ft. 3.5 × 8 = 28 feet. Multiply blueprint length by scale factor.
  7. Which of these is NOT a valid way to write a scale? — 50%. Percentages express ratios differently and are not a valid scale format for drawings. Scales use ratios, fractions, or measurement equivalences.
  8. What is the formula for the circumference of a circle? — C = 2πr. Circumference C = 2πr (or equivalently C = πd since d = 2r).
  9. What is the formula for the area of a circle? — A = πr². Area A = πr². Remember: area uses r squared, circumference uses r to the first power.

  14. What value is π approximately equal to? — 3.14. π ≈ 3.14159... The common approximation is 3.14 or the fraction 22/7.
  15. A circular label has a radius of 4 cm. What is the area? Use π ≈ 3.14. — 50.24 cm². A = πr² = 3.14 × 16 = 50.24 cm².
  16. A circle has diameter 20 m. What is its circumference? Leave in terms of π. — 20π m. C = πd = π(20) = 20π m.
  17. Two angles that sum to 90° are called: — Complementary. Complementary angles sum to 90°. Remember: C for Complementary, C for Corner (right angle = 90°).
  18. Two angles that sum to 180° are called: — Supplementary. Supplementary angles sum to 180°. They form a straight line together.
  19. Vertical angles are: — Always equal. Vertical angles are formed opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are always equal in measure.
  20. An angle measures 55°. What is the measure of its complement? — 35°. 90° − 55° = 35°. Complementary angles sum to 90°.
  21. An angle measures 110°. What is the measure of its supplement? — 70°. 180° − 110° = 70°. Supplementary angles sum to 180°.
  22. Two lines intersect. One angle is 45°. What is the measure of the angle vertically opposite to it? — 45°. Vertical angles are equal. The angle vertically opposite to 45° is also 45°.
  23. An angle measures 27°. What is the measure of its complement? — 63°. 90° − 27° = 63°.
  24. The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is: — 180°. The interior angles of any triangle always sum to exactly 180°, regardless of the triangle's shape or size.
  25. The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is: — 360°. Quadrilaterals have 4 sides. The interior angles always sum to 360°.
  26. A triangle has angles of 60° and 80°. What is the third angle? — 40°. 180° − 60° − 80° = 40°.
  27. A triangle has two equal angles of 55° each. What is the third angle? — 70°. 180° − 55° − 55° = 70°.
  28. Which set of angles could form a triangle? — 60°, 60°, 60°. 60+60+60 = 180° ✓. The others don't sum to 180°.
  29. A quadrilateral has angles of 85°, 100°, and 95°. What is the fourth angle? — 80°. 360° − 85° − 100° − 95° = 80°.
  30. What type of triangle has one angle greater than 90°? — Obtuse. An obtuse triangle has one angle greater than 90°. The other two angles must be acute to keep the total at 180°.
  31. A triangle with all equal angles is called: — Equilateral. An equilateral triangle has all three sides and all three angles equal (each = 60°).
  32. A triangle with two equal sides is called: — Isosceles. An isosceles triangle has exactly two equal sides (and the base angles opposite those sides are also equal).
  33. Surface area is measured in what type of units? — Square units. Surface area is a 2D measurement (area of flat faces), so it is measured in square units (cm², m², in²).
  34. Volume is measured in what type of units? — Cubic units. Volume measures 3D space, so it uses cubic units (cm³, m³, in³).
  35. What is the volume of a rectangular prism with length 4, width 3, and height 2? — 24. V = l × w × h = 4 × 3 × 2 = 24 cubic units.

  38. The volume of a pyramid is what fraction of the volume of a prism with the same base and height? — 1/3. V_pyramid = (1/3) × B × h. A pyramid holds exactly 1/3 the volume of a prism with the same base and height.
  39. The surface area of a rectangular prism includes which faces? — All 6 rectangular faces. Surface area is the total of ALL 6 faces: top, bottom, front, back, left, and right.
  40. A pyramid has 1/3 the volume of a prism with the same base and height. If the prism volume is 90 cm³, what is the pyramid volume? — 30 cm³. V_pyramid = (1/3)(90) = 30 cm³.
  41. A rectangular prism is 3 m × 2 m × 5 m. What is its volume in cubic meters? — 30 m³. V = 3 × 2 × 5 = 30 m³.
  42. What is a cross section? — The 2D shape revealed when a flat cut is made through a 3D solid. A cross section is the 2D shape you see when a flat plane cuts through a 3D solid.
  43. If you slice a sphere through its center, what shape is the cross section? — A circle. Any flat cut through a sphere produces a circle. A cut through the center produces the largest circle (great circle).
  44. What cross section do you get if you slice a cylinder horizontally (parallel to the base)? — Circle. Slicing a cylinder horizontally (parallel to the base) produces a circle, since you're cutting through the circular cross-section.
  45. What cross section do you get if you slice a cylinder vertically (perpendicular to the base, along the axis)? — Rectangle. A vertical cut along a cylinder's axis produces a rectangle with width equal to the diameter and height equal to the cylinder height.
  46. What cross section do you get if you slice a cone horizontally (parallel to the base)? — Circle. A horizontal cut through a cone (parallel to the base) produces a smaller circle.
  47. What cross section do you get if you slice a cone vertically through its apex? — Triangle. A vertical cut through the apex of a cone produces a triangle (isosceles).
  48. A horizontal cross section of a pyramid gets larger as you cut closer to: — The base (bottom). The pyramid narrows toward the apex. Cuts closer to the base produce larger cross sections; cuts near the apex produce smaller ones.
  49. An architect slices a conical roof section to check its dimensions. A horizontal cut produces what shape? — Circle. Horizontal cross sections of cones are always circles.
