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. Angles of a polygon that share a side.






2. A triangle with at least two congruent sides






3. The statement formed by switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement






4. Six sided polygon






5. 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.






6. A quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent - congruent sides






7. An undefined two-dimensional figure






8. The union of line segments with each segment interesecting exactly two others - only at the endpoints






9. The figure formed by two rays with a common endpoint called the vertex - the space between two lines or planes that intersect - a figure formed by two rays that have the same endpoint.






10. A point at the end of a segment or ray






11. Seven sided polygon






12. The sum of the lengths of the sides of a polygon.






13. Extends infinitely in both directions. A spatial location defined by a real or imaginary unidimensional extent.






14. A line segment perpendicular to the bases - with endpoints on the planes containing the bases.






15. The common point of the two rays - the point in common of the two rays that form an angle. - the point at which the sides of an angle meet or intersect.






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






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






18. Half of a sphere form through bisection by a plane






19. A term used to describe two numbers having the same value






20. 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.






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






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






23. A = 1/2bh (b = base - h = height)






24. An eight-sided polygon






25. No line that contains a side of the polygon contains a point in the interior of the polygon






26. One-quarter of a complete revolution - a quarter of the circumference of a circle - an angle that measures 90 degrees.






27. The sum of the measures in any triangle is 180 degrees.






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






29. Two angles whose sum is 180 degrees






30. A=?r






31. A quadrilateral with 2 sets of parallel sides not at right angles to one another.






32. Area of a circle x height of cylinder - pi x r*2 x height.






33. The square of the hypotenuse c of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides - a and b.






34. A point that divides a segment into two congruent segments






35. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






36. The angles opposite the legs of an isosceles triangle.






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






38. An angle greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees - an angle between 90 and 180 degrees - An angle that measures more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.

44. Two angles whose sum is 90 degrees






45. 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






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