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






2. The bottom of a fraction






3. The amount of space contained in - or occupied by - a solid figure. expressed in in cubic units.






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






5. The top number of a fraction






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






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






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






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






10. A line connecting one point on a circle with another






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






12. A triangle that contains a 90 degree angle






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






14. Formed by two lines that either intersect (cross each other) or start from the same point. the opening is measured in degrees and can be thought of as a fraction of a circle's 360 degrees






15. A triangle having at least two equal sides and two equal angles






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






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






18. A 5 sided polygon






19. The symbol (v) that tells you to find the square root of a number






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






21. 'in the same order'






22. The sum of the lengths of all the sides of a polygon






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






24. A 6-sided polygon






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






26. The number you get when you multiply two numbers






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






28. The point where two lines meet to form part of a polygon






29. The number you get when you add a group of numbers and then divide by how many there are. also called an arithmetic mean






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






31. An arithmetic or algebraic expression that has some value on the left and some value on the right






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






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






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






35. An angle that contains less than 90 degrees






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






37. The digit all the way on the right of a number


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






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






40. A quadrilateral that has four 90 degree angles






41. A whole numeral. there are 10 of them: 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - and 9.






42. Lines in the same plane that never meet






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






44. A section of a circle - also known as a little curved thing






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






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






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






48. 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






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






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