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. Figures that lie on the same plane






2. Two lines in the same plane that extend infinitely in both directions and never intersect - coplanar lines that do not intersect - lines in a plane that never intersect.






3. The union of line segments with each segment interesecting exactly two others - only at the endpoints






4. A line segment perpendicular to the base - with one endpoint on the vertex and the other endpoint on the plane containing the base






5. The point that is the same distance from all the points on the circle






6. An angle with 90 degrees






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






8. One of the rays that makes an angle






9. (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






10. The common endpoint of two sides of the polygon






11. A = S^2






12. A point a the end of a line segment or ray.






13. An undefined one-dimensional object with no endpoints






14. The longest side of a right triangle






15. A polyhedron with two congruent and parallel faces (the bases) and whose lateral faces are parallelograms






16. One of the angles is a right angle - a triangle with one right angle - One angle in the triangle measures exactly 90 degrees.






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






18. A triangle with one obtuse angle






19. Two angles whose sides form two pairs of opposite rays






20. Shows a location -






21. A solid figure that has a circular base and one vertex. The intersection of a cone with a plane through the vertex - perpendicular to the base will be a traingle.






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






23. One of the line segments that makes a polygon
