Level 1 · Warm-up

1 How many sides does a hexagon have?

Level 2 · Core

4 True or false: every square is also a rectangle.
Show worked solution
True — a square has 4 right angles and opposite sides equal, so it fits the rule for a rectangle. It is a special rectangle with all four sides equal.
5 I have 4 sides, all the same length, but none of my corners are right angles. What am I?
Show worked solution
Four equal sides without square corners is a rhombus.
6 A shape has double the number of sides of a quadrilateral. What is it?
Show worked solution
Double 4 is 8 sides, which is an octagon.

Level 3 · Challenge

7 A pentagon and a triangle are placed side by side. How many sides do they have altogether?
Show worked solution
A pentagon has 5 and a triangle has 3, so 5 + 3 = 8 sides.
8 A shape has 5 sides and none of them are equal. What is it called?
Show worked solution
Five sides makes it a pentagon, and unequal sides makes it irregular pentagon.
9 How many MORE sides does an octagon have than a pentagon?
Show worked solution
An octagon has 8 and a pentagon has 5, so 8 − 5 = 3 more.

⭐ Bonus Challenge · only if the rest felt easy

10 I have 4 straight sides and all 4 are the same length, but none of my corners are right angles. What am I?
Show worked solution
Four equal sides with square corners is a square. Push it over so the corners are no longer right angles and you have a rhombus.
