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. 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.






2. A pair of angles which are on the same side of the transversal. With respect to the parallel lines - one must be interior - one must be extirior - and they must be nonadjacent.






3. A = S^2






4. 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.






5. Coplanar - adjacent angles that are supplementary






6. The ratio of a circles circumference to its diameter. (approximately 3.141592653589...






7. Figures that lie on the same plane






8. Coplanar lines that do not intersect






9. A = LW (L = length - W = width).






10. An undefined two-dimensional figure






11. 12 sided polygon






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






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






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






15. A point that divides a line segment into two equal parts.






16. Lines in the same plane that intersect.






17. Objects on the same line






18. Concave






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






20. The square root of a is a number b so that a = b^2.






21. A closed curve; all the points on the circle are the same distance from the center of the circle.






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






23. A tool for measuring linear distance






24. 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.






25. 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.






26. One of the angles is a right angle - a triangle with one right angle - One angle in the triangle measures exactly 90 degrees.






27. A triangle with no two sides congruent






28. 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.






29. The only space figure on the game board; it has six equal square faces.






30. A polygon with n sides






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






32. In a polygon two vertices that are endpoints of a side






33. The length of a line segment with endpoints on a circle that also contains the center of the circle






34. Non-parallel - non-intersecting lines






35. 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.






36. A line that intersects a (coplanar) circle at exactly one point






37. A three-sided polygon






38. The perpendicular segment form a vertx to the line containing the opposite side.






39. Angles of a polygon that share a side.






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






41. 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.






42. The point where more than two line intersect






43. All angles are congruent






44. The point that is the same distance from all the points on the circle






45. An exact location in space. undefined zero-dimensional object






46. An equilateral - equiangular polygon






47. A segment whose endpoints are point on a circle






48. Twenty sided polygon






49. All sides are congruent






50. A chord that contains the center of the circle
