The question, in short

On a 6 by 6 square grid, produce a drawing of a kite, then state two geometric facts that hold for a rhombus.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Part (a) · 1 mark

Sketch a kite shape on the provided 6 by 6 square grid.

  1. 1Draw a quadrilateral with two pairs of equal adjacent sides, e.g. vertices (3, 0), (1, 2), (3, 5), (5, 2) on the grid
  2. 2One diagonal is a line of symmetry

AnswerAny kite drawn

Part (b) · 2 marks

Give two geometric facts that are true of a rhombus.

  1. 1All four sides are equal
  2. 2Opposite sides are parallel (also: diagonals bisect at right angles, opposite angles equal)

AnswerTwo correct geometrical properties
