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 line perpendicular to the base of a polygon - or the length of that line.






2. A unit of measure used to describe the size of an angle or part of a circle. a complete circle has 360 degrees






3. To cut exactly in half. a line that does this to a 70 degree angle divides it into two 35 degree angles






4. A number or group of numbers represented by a letter or symbol. the value can vary depending on the mathematical relationship defined for it






5. Two angles sharing one common side and a common vertex






6. A number whose only positive whole number facotrs are 1 and itself.






7. A rectangular solid with six square sides or faces. also - a number raised to the third power






8. Two angles containing a total of 180 degrees






9. 'in the same order'






10. The number left over after you've divided one number into another number






11. An angle whose measure is more than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees






12. The point equidistant from the ends of a line






13. A quadrilateral whose opposite sides are both parallel and equal in length and whose opposite angles are equal






14. Lines in the same plane that never meet






15. Having all sides equal. an equilateral triangle has three equal sides






16. An angle that contains less than 90 degrees






17. Formula used to describe the relationship among the lengths of the sides of a right triangle






18. A triangle that contains a 90 degree angle






19. The longest line you can draw from one point in a circle to another (the longest chord). The diameter is two times the length of the radius






20. A 5 sided polygon






21. A little number placed towards the upper right of a big number. the coefficient (big number) is multiplied by itself that many times.






22. A four-sided polygon. the angles total 360 degrees.






23. Including the two extremes. the integers from 1 to 5 inclusive are 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - and 5.






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






25. The number you get when you subtract one number from another.






26. A collection of all the points that are the same distance from one - central point






27. The number you get when you add two or more numbers






28. The 'length' of a circle - measured from one point then all the way back to that point






29. Comparison of two or more numbers - expressed in lowest terms






30. A whole number that can be either positive - negative - or zero.






31. The middle number in a group






32. The top number of a fraction






33. The amount of space inside a two-dimensional (flat) object. measured in square units






34. One after the other - without skipping. numbers in order.






35. The mathematical chance of something happening. can be expressed as a fraction - ratio - decimal - or percent.






36. One of two equal factors of a number






37. Two triangles with exactly the same three angles. Similar triangles do not have to be the same size.






38. The 'steepness' of a line. determined with a fraction: rise/run






39. The place where the x axis frosses the y axis. usually referred to as the point (0 -0)






40. An integer






41. A 6-sided polygon






42. 'from now' ex. 7 years hence= 7 years from now






43. The number you get when you divide one number into another number






44. The bottom of a fraction






45. Number that are multiplied together. the ones for 6 are 1 - 2 - 3 - and 6.






46. The product of two or more whole numbers. 40 is this of 5 because 5×8=40. therefore 40 is also this of 8






47. The line connecting the vertices of two opposite angles of a quadrilateral.






48. A half-circle






49. A three sided polygon. the angles of a triangle total 180 degrees






50. A Greek letter used to represent the relationship between the radius of a circle and its circumference and area.
