Grade 8 Geometry Test #2 – Answer Key
& Solutions
SECTION ONE – Objective & True/False (20 Marks)
Question One: Multiple Choice (10 marks)
1. 1. a. 1080° – (8 - 2) × 180 = 1080°
2. 2. c. Opposite sides are equal in length.
3. 3. b. A = 50 cm² – 10 × 5 = 50 cm²
4. 4. b. Opposite sides are equal, and angles are right.
5. 5. d. 360° – Sum of exterior angles of any polygon
6. 6. b. h = 8 units – 48 = 6 × h → h = 8
7. 7. a. Adjacent angles are supplementary
8. 8. a. Area = length × width
9. 9. b. Length equals width
10. 10. b. 360° – (4 - 2) × 180 = 360°
Question Two: True/False + Corrections (10 marks)
11. 1. False – Correct: (n - 2) × 180°
12. 2. False – A parallelogram does not always have right angles.
13. 3. False – Rectangles have opposite sides equal, not all four.
14. 4. True
15. 5. False – A parallelogram cannot have three right angles.
16. 6. False – (6 - 2) × 180 = 720°
17. 7. True
18. 8. False – Perimeter of square = 4 × a
19. 9. False – All sides of a square are equal.
20. 10. True – √49 = 7 cm
SECTION TWO – Problem Solving (20 Marks)
Question One: Find Unknowns
1. Use properties of parallelogram: opposite sides and angles are equal.
2. Use rectangle properties: all angles 90°, opposite sides equal.
3. Use Pythagorean theorem or known sides/angles in rectangle.
4. In square, all sides equal, angles 90°, diagonals bisect at 90°.
Question Two: Prove ABCD is a Rectangle
Use distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)
Show opposite sides and diagonals are equal.
Question Three: Interior Angles
Formula: (n - 2) × 180°
Each angle in regular polygon = ((n - 2) × 180) ÷ n
Question Four: Solve for Missing Variable
Use angle relationships: triangle sum = 180°, polygon interior angles, or linear equations.
