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. The point where more than two line intersect






2. A polygon with n sides






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






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






5. One-half of a complete revolution - an angle of 180 degrees - an angle with measure equal to 180 degrees.






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






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






8. 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=






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






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

13. A triangle with no equal sides.






14. The amount of surface inside a circle.






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






16. An undefined three-dimensional figure; the set of all points






17. 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.






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






19. Concave






20. Any 2D figure with parallel bases (of length a) and height (b) - that has constant width (a) will have area ab.






21. Lines in the same plane that intersect.






22. (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






23. An example that shows a statement to be false






24. The point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle






25. Shows a location -






26. A triangle with no two sides congruent

28. A=1/2h(b1+b2) - or






29. Six sided polygon






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






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






32. 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.






33. 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.






34. Angles whose measures add to 90 degrees - two angles whose sum is a right angle - Angles whose measure adds up to 90 degrees.






35. A quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides
