SAT Math Vocab 2

Subjects : sat, math
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 ratio that compares two quantities measured in different units






2. A number that can not be written a/b






3. The height of a polygon that is in a 90 degree relationship to the base of the polygon






4. In a sum - you can add terms in any order - a + b = b + a






5. A decrease in the price of an item






6. A relation that assigns exactly one output value for each input value






7. The order of the factors does not change the product a x b = b x a






8. The set of all the output (y-values) for a function






9. A triangle with three equal sides






10. A line segment from the center of a circle to any point on the circle (is also half the diameter)






11. The polygons that form a polyhedron






12. What should occur in a probability experiment...an experiment is not actually done






13. Changing the grouping of terms will not change the sum - (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)






14. Is the middle value in a data set where the numbers are ordered least to greatest






15. The perpendicular (90 degrees) distance from the base of a triangle to the opposite vertex






16. A(b + c) = ab + ac






17. A²+b²=c²






18. The least common multiple of the denominators of two or more fractions.

21. A graph that best shows part of a whole or the percentage out of 100%






22. An expression that contains a square root






23. The largest factor that two or more numbers have in common.






24. Is the value in a data set that occurs most often. If all values occur the same amount of times there is no mode for that set.






25. A single term made up of numbers and variables






26. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






27. Two angles whose sum is 180 degrees






28. The sum of a number and zero is always that number.






29. A transformation that "flips" a figure over the x or y axis






30. A set of three positive integers that work in the pythagorean theorem

32. A whole number that has exactly two factors - 1 and itself.






33. Moves each point in a figure the same distance and direction - the new image is congruent to the original






34. A number that can be written as a/b where a and b are integers - but b is not equal to 0.






35. A pair of opposite congruent angles formed by intersecting lines






36. A method of writing very large or very small numbers by using powers of 10






37. The distance a number is from 0 on the number line - value of n is written l n l

39. The sum of a number and its opposite is zero.






40. A comparison of two numbers by division






41. Skip-counting by any given number Ex: 4 - 8 - 12 - 16...






42. A triangle with one obtuse angle






43. Changing the grouping of factors will not change the product - (ab)c = a(bc)
