Maths Quiz - Shapes 2 (Difficult) (Answers)
Welcome to the second of our Difficult Eleven plus maths quizzes on Shapes. If you’ve made it this far then you should breeze through these questions. They are a mixture on terms used to describe 2-D and 3-D shapes.
There are many different shapes that you need to learn. Yes, there are the obvious ones like circles, squares, triangles and cubes. But there are some more obscure ones such as trapeziums, rhomboids, parallelograms and ellipses. You need to know exactly what these shapes look like and some of their properties.
If you need more practice with shapes then fear not! Just play this quiz and all of the others on shapes until you get all the questions right first time. The more you play, the more you learn so keep at it!
Now let's see how well you can do - good luck!

A hexagon is a polygon with six sides and six corners
|
Equilateral triangles have sides of equal length and interior angles of 60o

The formula for the area of a circle is ?r2
|
A cube is, of course, a 3-D square

The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360o. You can cut a quadrilateral in half to make two triangles: 360o ÷ 2 = 180o
|
Quadrilaterals are 2-D shapes with four sides. There are plenty of different quadrilaterals: kites parallelograms, rhomboids, rectangles, oblongs, squares, and trapeziums for example

The term 'regular' is used for any polygon with equal sides and internal angles
|
The word "parallelogram" comes from the Greek for “bounded by parallel lines”.
Rectangles are parallelograms in which the internal angles are equal to 90o |

Cylinders are similar to prisms, but they have curved edges
|
An ellipse is a curved shape, similar to a squashed circle
