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 nine-sided polygon






2. 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.






3. An angle having two adjacent sides of the polygon as its sides.






4. The set of all points that are the same distance from a given point






5. Two lines with one common point - Lines that cross at one point - opposite angles are equal (each pair of angles along the same line add to 180 degrees).






6. The common endpoint of two sides of the polygon






7. A structure that is used to support weight from above.






8. The author / editor of 'The Elements'






9. A point a the end of a line segment or ray.






10. 15 sided polygon






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






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






13. All three angles are acute - a triangle whose interior angles are all acute - A triangle with three acute angles.






14. An equilateral quadrilateral






15. Six sided polygon






16. The set of all coplanar points that are the same distance from a given point






17. Regular quadrilateral






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






19. (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






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






22. V = (4/3)(pi)(r^3)






23. P = 4S (S = length of side) - (Square with side length s) Perimeter P = 4s.






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






25. The distance from the center of a circle to a point on the circle






26. Seven sided polygon






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






28. Concave






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






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






31. 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.






32. An arc that measures less than 180 degrees






33. A = 1/2bh (b = base - h = height) - The area of a triangle is one half the product of a base and its corresponding height - which is the length of the altitude drawn to the given base - A=






34. Objects on the same line






35. A polyhedron with two congruent and parallel faces (the bases) and whose lateral faces are parallelograms






36. Two lines that intersect to form right angles






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






38. (1.) Use a metric ruler. (2.) Measure the length - width - and height (Volume = l x w x h). (3.) Units cubic centimeter (cm3).






39. 10 sided polygon






40. A three-sided polygon






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






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






43. An example that shows a statement to be false






44. An angle that measures between 0 and 90 degrees.






45. A polyhedron having a polygonal base and triangular sides with a common vertex






46. The distance around a circle.






47. A line that touches a curve at only one point.






48. All elements that are in common to two (or more) sets or figures






49. V=






50. 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.
