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. The amount of surface inside a circle.






2. A polygon with n sides






3. Two angles whose sum is 180 degrees






4. 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=

6. Two angles that lie between the two parallel lines on opposite sides of the transversal.






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






8. Area of a circle x height of cylinder - pi x r*2 x height.






9. A quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides






10. Non-parallel - non-intersecting lines






11. 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.






12. The common point of the two rays - the point in common of the two rays that form an angle. - the point at which the sides of an angle meet or intersect.






13. Angles of a polygon that share a side.






14. A circle is circumscribed about a polygon if the circle contains all the vertices of the polygon.

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






24. A line segment with one endpoint at the center of a circle and the other endpoint on the circle

34. A segment that is drawn from the center of a regular polygon perpendicular to a side of the polygon. An apothem of a regular polygon is a perpendicular line segment from its center to one of its sides.
