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. A segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side






2. Two non-collinear rays with a common endpoint.






3. The two sides of a right triangle that form the right angle






4. All angles are congruent






5. The point that is the same distance from all the points on the circle






6. A triangle with at least two congruent sides






7. A chord that contains the center of the circle






8. Planes that do not intersect






9. A triangle with no two sides congruent






10. Swiss mathematician (1707-1783). He is known for his prolific output and the fact that he continued to produce seminal results even after going blind. He invented graph theory with the Seven Bridges of Konigsberg problem and introduced the modern not






11. A part of a line between two endpoints






12. One of the angles is a right angle - a triangle with one right angle - One angle in the triangle measures exactly 90 degrees.






13. Angles of a polygon that share a side.






14. A = S^2






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






16. Coplanar lines that do not intersect






17. A tool for measuring linear distance






18. Sides in a polygon that are connected by a vertex






19. An angle greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees - An angle less than 90 degrees - An angle less than 90 degrees but more than 0 degrees.






20. A triangle with all acute angles.






21. Non-parallel - non-intersecting lines






22. A continuous part of a circle.






23. A surface generated by rotating a parallel line segment around a fixed line






24. Switches the hypothesis and the conclusion and negates both






25. A structure that is used to support weight from above.






26. An example that shows a statement to be false






27. 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=






28. A quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides






29. A circle is circumscribed about a polygon if the circle contains all the vertices of the polygon.






30. 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.

33. Six sided polygon






34. An arc that measures greater than 180 degrees






35. 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.






36. Two lines with one common point - Lines that cross at one point - opposite angles are equal (each pair of angles along the same line add to 180 degrees).






37. An undefined two-dimensional figure






38. Lines in the same plane that never intersect.






39. A circle is inscribed in a polygon if the circle is tangent to all the sides of the polygon.
