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. One of the angles is an obtuse angle - a triangle that contains an obtuse interior angle - A triangle where one angle measures over 90 degrees.






2. Angles of a polygon that share a side.






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






4. Two lines that intersect to form right angles.






5. Two angles that lie between the two parallel lines on opposite sides of the transversal.






6. 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.
