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. Half of a sphere form through bisection by a plane






2. Lines in the same plane that intersect.






3. Twenty sided polygon






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






5. Two lines that intersect to form right angles.






6. Two lines in the same plane that extend infinitely in both directions and never intersect - coplanar lines that do not intersect - lines in a plane that never intersect.






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






8. The rays forming the angle - Rays that make up an angle - The two rays that meet at a vertex to create an angle.

10. All sides are congruent






11. A triangle with a right angle






12. A statement that can be written in if-then form






13. (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






14. 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.

18. Coplanar - adjacent angles that are supplementary






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






20. 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






21. Objects on the same line

30. Point of concurrency of the altitudes of a triangle






31. 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.
