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. The angles opposite the legs of an isosceles triangle.






2. An undefined one-dimensional object with no endpoints






3. A=?r






4. No equal sides - a triangle with no two sides of equal length - no congruent sides - A triangle with three sides of different lengths.






5. The common endpoint of the rays of an angle






6. Having the same size and shape






7. A triangle with a right angle






8. A ray is part of a line with one endpoint and extending infi nitely in one direction - (mathematics) a straight line extending from a point - A part of a line - with one endpoint - that continues without end in one direction.






9. A ray - with endpoint on the vertex - that divides an angle into two congruent coplanar angles






10. A triangle with 2 equal sides.






11. 12 sided polygon






12. A quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides






13. A statement that can be written in if-then form






14. The point of concurrency of the angle bisectors of a triangle






15. 1/3 X area of base X height






16. A three-sided polygon






17. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






18. Part of a line consisting of a path between two endpoints.






19. A = S^2






20. Any 2D figure with parallel bases (of length a) and height (b) - that has constant width (a) will have area ab.






21. The point where more than two line intersect






22. Angles of a polygon that share a side.






23. A series of points that go on and on in opposite directions.






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






25. An angle between 90 and 180 degrees






26. A nine-sided polygon






27. 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.

29. 10 sided polygon






30. 1/360 of a complete revolution - A unit used to measure distances around a circle. One degree equals 1/360 of a full circle - A unit of angle measure.

37. Non-parallel - non-intersecting lines






38. 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

43. A line segment perpendicular to the base - with one endpoint on the vertex and the other endpoint on the plane containing the base






44. (1.) By using a letter or a number inside the angle. Thus - we would name the angle (read 'angle alpha'). (2.) By using the vertex letter only - such as A. (3.) By using three letters - one from each ray - with the vertex letter in the middle. The
