Answer Key and Marking Scheme
Section A: Angles and Turns (Questions 1–5)
1. How many right angles are there in one full turn?
Answer: 4
Marking: 1 mark for the correct answer.
Method: One full turn = 360°. One right angle = 90°. 360° ÷ 90° = 4.
Common mistake: Students may answer 2 (confusing with a half turn).
2. A right angle is exactly ___________ degrees.
Answer: 90
Marking: 1 mark for the correct answer.
Method: By definition, a right angle measures exactly 90°.
3. Look at the angle below. Is it smaller than, equal to, or greater than a right angle?
Answer: Greater than a right angle
Marking: 1 mark for the correct answer.
Method: Compare the angle to the corner of a book or a square corner (90°). The given angle is wider/obtuse, so it is greater than a right angle.
4. How many right angles are there in a half turn?
Answer: 2
Marking: 1 mark for the correct answer.
Method: A half turn = 180°. 180° ÷ 90° = 2 right angles.
Common mistake: Students may answer 1 or 4.
5. Which of the following is a right angle?
Answer: Diagram B
Marking: 1 mark for the correct answer.
Method: A right angle looks exactly like the corner of a book or a square. Diagram B matches this shape. Diagram A is too narrow (acute) and Diagram C is too wide (obtuse).
Section B: Perpendicular and Parallel Lines (Questions 6–10)
6. What are parallel lines? Draw a simple example in the box below.
Answer: Parallel lines are straight lines that are always the same distance apart and never meet, no matter how far they are extended.
Example drawing:
___________________________
___________________________
(two horizontal lines, evenly spaced, with arrows indicating parallel)
Marking: 1 mark for a correct definition. 1 mark for a correct drawing showing two lines that never meet and are evenly spaced.
Common mistake: Students may draw lines that are not evenly spaced or that converge/diverge.
7. The letter H contains both parallel and parallel and perpendicular lines. Draw the letter H and label:
Answer:
→ →
| |
| |
∟ ∟
| |
| |
- The two vertical lines are parallel to each other (marked with → →).
- The horizontal line meets each vertical line at a right angle — these are perpendicular (marked with ∟).
Marking: 1 mark for a correctly drawn H. 1 mark for correctly identifying and labelling one pair of parallel lines AND one pair of perpendicular lines.
Common mistake: Students may confuse which lines are parallel and which are perpendicular.
8. Write P for parallel or NP for not parallel.
(a) Two horizontal lines running side by side: P
(b) Two lines that meet at a corner: NP
(c) Two vertical lines running side by side: P
Marking: 2 marks for all three correct. 1 mark for any two correct. 0 marks for one or none correct.
Method: Parallel lines never meet. If two lines meet (like at a corner), they are not parallel.
9. True or False: Two perpendicular lines always meet at a right angle.
Answer: True
Marking: 2 marks for the correct answer.
Method: By definition, perpendicular lines intersect at exactly 90° (a right angle).
10. Name two objects in your classroom that have parallel edges.
Answer (any two acceptable):
- The top and bottom edges of the whiteboard / door / window / textbook / desk top
- The lines on exercise book paper / the shelves of a bookcase / the opposite sides of a window frame
Marking: 1 mark each for any two reasonable examples of parallel edges found in a classroom.
Note: Accept any answer where the two edges are straight, never meet, and are evenly spaced.
Section C: Shapes and Geometry (Questions 11–15)
11. How many sides and how many angles does a rectangle have?
Answer: Sides: 4 Angles: 4
Marking: 2 marks for both correct. 1 mark for one correct.
Method: A rectangle is a four-sided shape (quadrilateral). Each corner forms an angle, so there are 4 angles.
12. A square is a special type of rectangle. What makes a square different from a rectangle?
Answer: A square has all four sides equal in length, whereas a rectangle only has opposite sides equal (the length and breadth can be different).
Marking: 2 marks for clearly stating that all sides of a square are equal. 1 mark for a partially correct answer (e.g., "all sides are the same" without mentioning the rectangle comparison).
13. Draw a rectangle that has a length of 6 cm and a breadth of 3 cm.
Answer: A rectangle drawn with the longer sides labelled 6 cm and the shorter sides labelled 3 cm. The drawing should show right angles at each corner.
Marking: 1 mark for a correctly drawn rectangle with right angles. 1 mark for correctly labelling length = 6 cm and breadth = 3 cm.
Common mistake: Students may draw a square or label the sides incorrectly.
14. Complete the table.
| Shape | Number of Sides | Number of Angles |
|---|---|---|
| Triangle | 3 | 3 |
| Square | 4 | 4 |
| Pentagon | 5 | 5 |
Marking: 2 marks for all six correct. 1 mark for 3–5 correct. 0 marks for fewer than 3 correct.
Method: A triangle has 3 sides and 3 angles. A square has 4 equal sides and 4 angles. A pentagon has 5 sides and 5 angles. The number of sides always equals the number of angles in a closed shape.
15. How many right angles does a square have?
Answer: 4
Marking: 2 marks for the correct answer.
Method: A square has 4 corners, and each corner is a right angle (90°).
Section D: Geometry in Everyday Life (Questions 16–20)
16. Priya opens a door halfway.
(a) Is the angle smaller than, equal to, or greater than a right angle when the door is halfway open?
Answer: Greater than a right angle
(b) If Priya opens the door fully flat against the wall, what type of angle is formed?
Answer: A straight angle (180°)
Marking: 1 mark for each correct part (a) and (b). 1 mark for clear reasoning or correct use of terminology.
Method: (a) When a door is halfway open, it has moved more than a quarter turn (90°) from the closed position, so the angle is greater than a right angle. (b) When the door is flat against the wall, the door and the wall form a straight line — this is a straight angle of 180°.
17. Look at the diagram of a bookshelf.
(a) The shelves are parallel to each other.
(b) Each shelf is perpendicular to the side panels.
(c) How many right angles are formed where one shelf meets one side panel?
Answer: 2
Marking: 1 mark each for parts (a), (b), and (c).
Method: (a) Shelves run horizontally side by side — they never meet, so they are parallel. (b) Shelves meet the vertical side panels at corners (90°), so they are perpendicular. (c) One shelf meets two side panels (left and right), forming 2 right angles.
18. A rectangular garden has a length of 8 m and a breadth of 5 m.
(a) How many sides does the garden have?
Answer: 4
(b) How many right angles does the garden have?
Answer: 4
(c) Are the opposite sides of the garden parallel? Explain your answer.
Answer: Yes. A rectangle has two pairs of opposite sides. The two lengths are parallel to each other, and the two breadths are parallel to each other. Opposite sides of a rectangle are always the same distance apart and never meet.
Marking: 1 mark for (a). 1 mark for (b). 1 mark for (c) — must state "Yes" AND give a reason (opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel / they never meet / they are always the same distance apart).
19. Mei Ling draws two lines that are perpendicular to each other.
(a) What angle do the two lines form where they meet?
Answer: 90 degrees
(b) If one of the lines is horizontal, describe the direction of the other line.
Answer: The other line is vertical (it goes up and down, at a right angle to the horizontal line).
(c) Give one example of perpendicular lines you can see in your school.
Answer (any one acceptable): The corner of the whiteboard / the edge of a door meeting the floor / the lines on a window frame / the corner of a bookshelf / the intersection of two corridors.
Marking: 1 mark for (a). 1 mark for (b) — must indicate vertical or "up and down at 90°". 1 mark for (c) — any reasonable real-world example of perpendicular lines in a school.
20. Study the floor tile pattern.
(a) Name two different shapes you can see in the pattern.
Answer (any two): Rectangle, Square
(b) Pick one rectangle in the pattern. How many right angles does it have?
Answer: 4
(c) Are the long sides of two adjacent rectangles parallel or perpendicular to each other?
Answer: Parallel
Marking: 1 mark for (a) — ½ mark per correct shape. 1 mark for (b). 1 mark for (c).
Method: (a) The pattern contains rectangles and squares. (b) Every rectangle has 4 right angles at its corners. (c) The long sides of adjacent rectangles run in the same direction and never meet, so they are parallel.
