Additional Practice Questions
What are the properties of a rectangle?
easyAnswer: A rectangle has four sides, with opposite sides being equal in length. It has four right angles.
How can you differentiate between a square and a rectangle?
mediumAnswer: A square has all four sides equal in length, whereas a rectangle only requires opposite sides to be equal. Both have four right angles.
Create a rangoli using at least three different geometric shapes.
hardAnswer: To create a rangoli, use circles, triangles, and squares. Arrange them symmetrically within a dot grid to form patterns.
Describe how to create an envelope from a square piece of paper.
mediumAnswer: Fold the square sheet diagonally to form a triangle, then fold one corner to the center, and repeat for the opposite side, creating an envelope shape.
Explain the significance of corners and sides in geometric shapes.
easyAnswer: Corners indicate the points where two sides meet, defining the shape's structure. The number of sides helps in identifying the shape, such as a triangle with three sides.
