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. Not convex






2. Coplanar lines that do not intersect






3. Concave






4. 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.






5. The two congruent sides of an isosceles triangle






6. 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.






7. A three-sided polygon






8. Planes that do not intersect






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






10. Objects on the same line






11. The point of intersection of the legs of an isosceles triangle






12. An arc that measures 180 degrees






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






14. A triangle with no two sides congruent






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






16. Half of a sphere form through bisection by a plane






17. The sum of the measures in any triangle is 180 degrees.






18. The length of the altitude






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






20. Switches the hypothesis and the conclusion and negates both






21. An arc that measures less than 180 degrees






22. The ratio of a circles circumference to its diameter. (approximately 3.141592653589...






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






24. 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.






25. Half of a line






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






27. A quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides






28. Equiangular quadrilateral






29. Segment that connects any two nonconsecutive vertices of a polygon






30. An equilateral quadrilateral






31. 1/360 of a complete revolution - A unit used to measure distances around a circle. One degree equals 1/360 of a full circle - A unit of angle measure.






32. A triangle with 2 equal sides.






33. Seven sided polygon






34. The amount of surface inside a circle.






35. The perpendicular segment form a vertx to the line containing the opposite side.






36. (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






37. 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






38. A parallelogram with four equal sides not at right angles to each other.






39. A triangle with at least two congruent sides






40. A tool used to measure angles






41. A point at the end of a segment or ray






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






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






44. An example that shows a statement to be false






45. Two non-collinear rays with a common endpoint.






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






47. No equal sides - a triangle with no two sides of equal length - no congruent sides - A triangle with three sides of different lengths.






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






49. An eleven-sided polygon






50. 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.
