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.

18. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






19. 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






20. Two lines that intersect to form right angles






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

45. A triangle with all acute angles.






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






47. (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






48. Goes through circumcenter - centroid - and orthocenter; circumcenter and orthocenter are its endpoints






49. An arc that measures less than 180 degrees






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