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






2. A term used to describe two numbers having the same value






3. Goes through circumcenter - centroid - and orthocenter; circumcenter and orthocenter are its endpoints






4. An angle between 90 and 180 degrees






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






6. Six sided polygon






7. Angles whose measures add to 180 degrees - Two angles whose sum is 180 degrees - Angles whose measure adds up to 180 degrees.






8. All sides are congruent






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






10. An equilateral quadrilateral






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






12. The common endpoint of the rays of an angle






13. 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.






14. Concave






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






16. The point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle






17. Seven sided polygon






18. 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.






19. Switches the hypothesis and the conclusion and negates both






20. The length of the altitude






21. All elements that are in any of two (or more) sets or figures






22. The square of the hypotenuse c of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides - a and b.






23. A line segment with one endpoint at the center of a circle and the other endpoint on the circle






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






25. Half of a line






26. Twenty sided polygon






27. A triangle with 2 equal sides.






28. Two angles whose sum is 90 degrees






29. Equiangular quadrilateral






30. An eight-sided polygon






31. A nine-sided polygon






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






33. A triangle with no two sides congruent






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






35. Point of concurrency of the altitudes of a triangle






36. 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).






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






38. An arc that measures less than 180 degrees






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






40. C = (Pi)d = 2(Pi)r - the size of something as given by the distance around it - the length of the closed curve of a circle - 2pr - Pi






41. (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






42. A chord that contains the center of the circle






43. The amount of surface inside a circle.






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

47. A line segment that passes through the center of a circle and has endpoints on the circle.






48. A circle is inscribed in a polygon if the circle is tangent to all the sides of the polygon.






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






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