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.

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






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






4. Equiangular quadrilateral






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






6. A triangle with no equal sides.






7. The square root of a is a number b so that a = b^2.






8. A polygon with n sides






9. Concave






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






11. The longest side of a right triangle






12. A triangle with 2 equal sides.






13. Two angles that lie between the two parallel lines on opposite sides of the transversal.






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






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






16. Two equal sides - a triangle with two equal sides - A triangle with at least 2 congruent sides.






17. Shows a location -






18. 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






19. The statement formed by negating both the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement






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






21. Angles of a polygon that share a side.






22. One of the line segments that makes a polygon






23. A = 1/2bh (b = base - h = height)






24. A line that intersects a circle in two points






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






26. An equilateral quadrilateral






27. 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.






28. A line segment that passes through the center of a circle and has endpoints on the circle.

32. The angles opposite the legs of an isosceles triangle.






33. Point of concurrency of the altitudes of a triangle






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






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






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






37. A = 1/2bh (b = base - h = height) - The area of a triangle is one half the product of a base and its corresponding height - which is the length of the altitude drawn to the given base - A=






38. Two angles whose sum is 180 degrees






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






40. The point where more than two line intersect

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