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. Having the same size and shape






2. A polygon with n sides






3. Coplanar - adjacent angles that are supplementary

5. All elements that are in any of two (or more) sets or figures






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






7. The square of the hypotenuse c of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides - a and b.

12. The point where more than two line intersect






13. The distance from the center of a circle to a point on the circle






14. The angle formed by the legs of an isosceles triangle






15. In a polygon two vertices that are endpoints of a side






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






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

34. A triangle with 2 equal sides.






35. One of the rays that makes an angle






36. A triangle with one obtuse angle






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






38. A continuous part of a circle.






39. A line that touches a curve at only one point.






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






41. Objects on the same line






42. Half of a line






43. Figures that lie on the same plane






44. 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.






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






46. (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
