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 = S^2






2. A polygon with n sides






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






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






5. 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.






6. Distance around - the size of something as given by the distance around it.






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






8. An arc that measures less than 180 degrees






9. A quadrilateral with 2 sets of parallel sides not at right angles to one another.






10. 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.






11. Figures that lie on the same plane






12. A tool for measuring linear distance






13. An angle between 90 and 180 degrees






14. A triangle with all acute angles.






15. An example that shows a statement to be false






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






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






18. The point of concurrency of the angle bisectors of a triangle






19. An undefined one-dimensional object with no endpoints






20. One of the rays that makes an angle






21. Half of a line






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






23. V = (4/3)(pi)(r^3)






24. An arc that measures 180 degrees






25. A five-sided polygon.






26. A triangle with a right angle






27. Equiangular quadrilateral






28. A polyhedron having a polygonal base and triangular sides with a common vertex






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






30. Switches the hypothesis and the conclusion and negates both






31. A five-sided polygon






32. All elements that are in common to two (or more) sets or figures






33. (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






34. All sides are congruent






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






36. Point of concurrency of the altitudes of a triangle






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






38. 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.






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






40. The author / editor of 'The Elements'






41. A quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent - congruent sides






42. 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.






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






44. 10 sided polygon






45. 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.






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






47. A triangle with no equal sides.






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






49. 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.






50. The amount of surface inside a circle.
