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. Sides in a polygon that are connected by a vertex






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






3. 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.






4. A segment whose endpoints are point on a circle






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






6. The length of the altitude






7. The point of concurrency of the angle bisectors of a triangle






8. A triangle with all acute angles.






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






10. Not convex






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






12. An eleven-sided polygon






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






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






15. Coplanar lines that do not intersect






16. An equilateral quadrilateral






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






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






19. 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.






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






21. Coplanar - adjacent angles that are supplementary






22. An arc that measures less than 180 degrees






23. Angles whose measures add to 90 degrees - two angles whose sum is a right angle - Angles whose measure adds up to 90 degrees.






24. The point of concurrency of the medians of a triangle; the center of mass of a triangle






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






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






27. 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






28. Non-parallel - non-intersecting lines






29. The statement formed by switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement






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






31. Figures that lie on the same plane






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






33. 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.






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






35. An angle in a circle formed by two radii.






36. A part of a line between two endpoints






37. The common point of the two rays - the point in common of the two rays that form an angle. - the point at which the sides of an angle meet or intersect.






38. The two congruent sides of an isosceles triangle






39. The common endpoint of two sides of the polygon






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






41. Lines in the same plane that never intersect.






42. A triangle with one obtuse angle






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






44. A line that intersects a circle in two points






45. 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.






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






47. The union of line segments with each segment interesecting exactly two others - only at the endpoints






48. Switches the hypothesis and the conclusion and negates both






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






50. 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.
