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. A structure that is used to support weight from above.






2. A ray - with endpoint on the vertex - that divides an angle into two congruent coplanar angles






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. Not convex






5. The figure formed by two rays with a common endpoint called the vertex - the space between two lines or planes that intersect - a figure formed by two rays that have the same endpoint.






6. One-quarter of a complete revolution - a quarter of the circumference of a circle - an angle that measures 90 degrees.






7. An eleven-sided polygon






8. 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.






9. A = S^2

15. A segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side






16. A four sided polygon






17. A point at the end of a segment or ray






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






19. (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






20. An undefined one-dimensional object with no endpoints






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






22. A segment that bisects an angle of the triangle and has one endpoint at a vertex of the triangle and the other endpoint at another point on the triangle.

24. The author / editor of 'The Elements'






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






26. The point of concurrency of the medians of a triangle; the center of mass of a triangle






27. Shows a location -






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






29. One of the angles is an obtuse angle - a triangle that contains an obtuse interior angle - A triangle where one angle measures over 90 degrees.






30. A point that divides a segment into two congruent segments






31. A=?r
