Subject : it-skills
Instructions:
  • Answer 46 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 regular oval shape traced by a point moving in a plane so that the sum of its distances from two other points is constant.






2. Used to represent visible lines on a drawing






3. Used in architecture to show exterior views of buildings






4. Constant - non-numerical relationships between the parts of a geometric figure. Examples include parallel - perpendicular - and concentric.






5. The amount of space occupied by a substance or object or enclosed within a container.






6. Vertical cut through house - used to show construction components of building






7. A two dimensional drawing of the front - top - and side views of an object






8. Actual size of framing member






9. A straight line from the center to the circumference of a circle or sphere.






10. A straight line passing from side to side through the center of a circle or sphere.






11. Used in AutoCAD to show various materials in sectional drawings






12. Simple method of drawing threads on an orthographic drawing






13. Gradual diminution of width or thickness in an elongated object.






14. Pictorial drawing of mechanism to show how parts interrelated to each other






15. To draw a figure inside another touching it at points but not cutting it.






16. Used to make lines of varying colors and widths on CAD drawings






17. Used in perspectives for determining the direction of the depth lines






18. A manufacturing process that forces material through a shaped opening.






19. Nominal size of a framing member






20. Used to define specific size requirements of openings in the building






21. The amount of matter an object contains.






22. Amount of money that clients have to spend on cost of building






23. To cut internal threads.






24. A cylindrical recess around a hole - usually to receive a bolt head or nut






25. Mass divided by volume.






26. An orthographic drawing of multiple parts that shows relationship of parts to each other in a mechanism






27. Horizontal section through building - shows width and depth of building






28. Counter space requirements on either side of sink






29. Three dimensional drawing made up of equal angles of 120 degrees - most common 3-D drawing used in industry






30. To flip a shape over a line of symmetry and double the image.






31. For a three-dimensional object - a line that cannot be seen because view of it is obstructed by part of the object or of another object






32. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






33. A line used to represent the middle of a circle in engineering drawings






34. Three dimensional drawing that depth lines disappear to a vanishing point. Used mainly in architectural presentations






35. Turning around an axis or center point.






36. A conical-shaped recess around a hole - often used to receive a tapered screw.






37. A document that show the quantity of each type of direct material required to make a product






38. The sum of all the areas of all surfaces of a solid.






39. To draw a figure around another touching it at points but not cutting it.






40. User coordinate system - used in the construction of 3D solids in AutoCAD






41. Used by architect to design buildings to the client's wants and needs






42. An estimated cost used by architects to begin schematic design process






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






44. Exact drawing representation of a given thread type






45. A drawing that shows an object as it appears to the human eye - includes isometric and perspective drawings






46. Three dimensional drawing where the front faces forward - and the depth dimensions go back at angles - usually 15 - 30 - or 45 degrees. Used when most information on drawing is on the front of the object.
