  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.
  10. A circle has a radius of 6 cm. What is its diameter?12 cm. Diameter = 2 × radius = 2 × 6 = 12 cm.
  11. A circle has a diameter of 10 in. What is its radius?5 in. Radius = diameter ÷ 2 = 10 ÷ 2 = 5 in.
  12. What is the circumference of a circle with radius 7? Leave in terms of π.14π. C = 2πr = 2π(7) = 14π.
  13. What is the area of a circle with radius 3 cm? Leave in terms of π.9π cm². A = πr² = π(3²) = 9π cm².
  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.
  36. A cube has side length 5 cm. What is its volume?125 cm³. V = s³ = 5³ = 125 cm³.
  37. How many faces does a rectangular prism have?6. A rectangular prism has 6 faces: top, bottom, front, back, left, and right.
  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.
