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.

7. Angles whose measures add to 180 degrees - Two angles whose sum is 180 degrees - Angles whose measure adds up to 180 degrees.






8. A line passing through the circumcenter - centroid - and orthocenter of a triangle






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






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

30. The angle formed by the legs of an isosceles triangle






31. A solid figure that has a circular base and one vertex. The intersection of a cone with a plane through the vertex - perpendicular to the base will be a traingle.






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

34. An undefined two-dimensional figure






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






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






37. 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.






38. A segment that bisects an angle of the triangle and has one endpoint at a vertex of the triangle and the other endpoint at another point on the triangle.






39. A statement that contains the phrase 'if and only if'.






40. 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.






41. Distance around - the size of something as given by the distance around it.

49. A triangle with three equal sides - a three-sided regular polygon - a triangle with three equal sides - three congruent sides.






50. 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.
