Python L25 Turtle

What does tom.shape('turtle') do in Turtle graphics?

• Changes the turtle's color to green

• Sets the shape of the turtle cursor to a turtle

• Starts drawing a triangle

• Moves the turtle forward by 10 pixels

This line sets the background color of the turtle screen to white.

• True

• False

Which command makes the turtle turn left? (multiple answers)

• turn(90)

• lt(90)

• left(90)

• rotate(90)

To create a dashed line, you use penup() and _________ to control when the turtle draws or not.

Match the turtle command to its purpose:

• setheading(270)

• Change direction

• left(90)

• Move ahead

• forward(100)

• Point turtle to specific angle

In a triangle, the turtle turns 90 degrees after drawing each side.

• True

• False

Answer explanation

• A triangle has three sides.

• The interior angles of an equilateral triangle are 60°, but Turtle turns based on external angles.

• So, to form a triangle, the turtle needs to turn 120° after each side (because 180° - 60° = 120°).

In the star shape code, how many times does the loop run?

• 4

• 5

• 6

• 10

To calculate the angle for a shape with 6 sides, use: angle = 360 / ______

(a)  

• 6
• 7
• 10
• 5

Put these steps in order to draw a square:

• Move Forward 120 steps

• Turn Left 90 degrees

• Repeat both steps 4 times

What does tom.home() do?

• Moves the turtle to the center of the screen and clears the drawing

• Teleports the turtle to its starting position and resets its heading

• Stops the program

• Makes the turtle go backwards
