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 quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides






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






3. Swiss mathematician (1707-1783). He is known for his prolific output and the fact that he continued to produce seminal results even after going blind. He invented graph theory with the Seven Bridges of Konigsberg problem and introduced the modern not






4. Non-parallel - non-intersecting lines






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






6. The author / editor of 'The Elements'






7. A nine-sided polygon






8. A tool used to measure angles






9. An arc that measures greater than 180 degrees






10. The rays forming the angle - Rays that make up an angle - The two rays that meet at a vertex to create an angle.






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






12. A point that divides a line segment into two equal parts.






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






14. More than two lines that meet at the same point






15. 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.






16. The statement formed by switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement






17. The sum of the lengths of the sides of a polygon.






18. An arc that measures less than 180 degrees






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

22. A term used to describe two numbers having the same value






23. 15 sided polygon






24. 10 sided polygon






25. (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






26. A surface generated by rotating a parallel line segment around a fixed line






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






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






29. A line that intersects a (coplanar) circle at exactly one point






30. Switches the hypothesis and the conclusion and negates both






31. 1/3 X area of base X height






32. 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.






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






34. A five-sided polygon.






35. A line segment perpendicular to the bases - with endpoints on the planes containing the bases.
