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 = S^2






2. Non-convex kite






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






4. 10 sided polygon






5. A five-sided polygon.






6. Two lines that intersect to form right angles.






7. 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.






8. 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.






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






11. 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.






12. Two angles whose sum is 90 degrees






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






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






15. An arc that measures 180 degrees






16. Segment that connects any two nonconsecutive vertices of a polygon






17. An undefined three-dimensional figure; the set of all points






18. An eight-sided polygon






19. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






20. A three-sided polygon






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






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






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






24. Coplanar lines that do not intersect






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






26. A triangle with all acute angles.






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






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






29. A parallelogram with four equal sides not at right angles to each other.






30. The common endpoint of two sides of the polygon






31. An undefined two-dimensional figure






32. A series of points that go on and on in opposite directions.






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






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






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






36. Two non-collinear rays with a common endpoint.






37. More than two lines that meet at the same point






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






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






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






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






42. An equilateral - equiangular polygon






43. 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.






44. Planes that do not intersect






45. Angles of a polygon that share a side.






46. The length of the altitude






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






48. A triangle with 2 equal sides.






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






50. The author / editor of 'The Elements'
