CLEP General Mathematics: Geometry

Subjects : clep, math, geometry
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. All sides are congruent






2. 1/360 of a complete revolution - A unit used to measure distances around a circle. One degree equals 1/360 of a full circle - A unit of angle measure.






3. (1.) Use a metric ruler. (2.) Measure the length - width - and height (Volume = l x w x h). (3.) Units cubic centimeter (cm3).






4. A = 1/2bh (b = base - h = height)






5. (1.) By using a letter or a number inside the angle. Thus - we would name the angle (read 'angle alpha'). (2.) By using the vertex letter only - such as A. (3.) By using three letters - one from each ray - with the vertex letter in the middle. The






6. A polygon with n sides






7. One-half of a complete revolution - an angle of 180 degrees - an angle with measure equal to 180 degrees.






8. P = 4S (S = length of side) - (Square with side length s) Perimeter P = 4s.






9. A line passing through the circumcenter - centroid - and orthocenter of a triangle






10. 1/3 X area of base X height






11. No line that contains a side of the polygon contains a point in the interior of the polygon






12. Planes that do not intersect






13. Two non-collinear rays with a common endpoint.






14. Seven sided polygon






15. One of the line segments that makes a polygon






16. An eight-sided polygon






17. The square root of a is a number b so that a = b^2.






18. The distance around a circle.






19. The only space figure on the game board; it has six equal square faces.






20. A series of points that go on and on in opposite directions.






21. A = 1/2bh (b = base - h = height) - The area of a triangle is one half the product of a base and its corresponding height - which is the length of the altitude drawn to the given base - A=






22. Point of concurrency of the altitudes of a triangle






23. A closed curve; all the points on the circle are the same distance from the center of the circle.






24. Any 2D figure with parallel bases (of length a) and height (b) - that has constant width (a) will have area ab.






25. An arc that measures less than 180 degrees






26. Sides in a polygon that are connected by a vertex






27. A line that touches a curve at only one point.






28. Half of a sphere form through bisection by a plane






29. P = 2L + 2W (L = length - W = width) - (length times 2) plus (width times 2).






30. A statement that contains the phrase 'if and only if'.






31. A tool used to measure angles






32. A = S^2






33. Non-convex kite






34. An angle that measures between 0 and 90 degrees.






35. The author / editor of 'The Elements'






36. The common endpoint of the rays of an angle






37. A ray is part of a line with one endpoint and extending infi nitely in one direction - (mathematics) a straight line extending from a point - A part of a line - with one endpoint - that continues without end in one direction.






38. An example that shows a statement to be false






39. Part of a line consisting of a path between two endpoints.






40. A pair of angles which are on the same side of the transversal. With respect to the parallel lines - one must be interior - one must be extirior - and they must be nonadjacent.

44. An angle greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees - An angle less than 90 degrees - An angle less than 90 degrees but more than 0 degrees.






45. A triangle with at least two congruent sides






46. The side opposite the vertex angle.






47. Switches the hypothesis and the conclusion and negates both






48. The two sides of a right triangle that form the right angle






49. An angle in a circle formed by two chords with a common endpoint
