What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?
180°
360°
120°
90°
The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°. This fundamental property is a basic axiom in Euclidean geometry and is used in many triangle problems.
Which of the following best defines a chord in a circle?
A segment with both endpoints on the circle
A line that passes through the circle's center
A line that touches the circle at one point
A diameter
A chord is defined as a segment whose endpoints both lie on the circle. This distinguishes it from tangents or radii and is a key concept in circle geometry.
Which shape is guaranteed to have four right angles?
Trapezoid
Rectangle
Rhombus
Parallelogram
A rectangle is defined as a quadrilateral with four right angles. While other quadrilaterals may sometimes have right angles, this property is exclusive to rectangles by definition.
What is the midpoint of a segment?
A point that divides the segment into three equal parts
One of the endpoints of the segment
The point on a circle furthest from the center
A point that divides the segment into two equal parts
The midpoint divides a segment into two equal parts. This concept is foundational in geometry and is useful in various constructions and proofs.
Which statement best describes parallel lines?
Lines that meet at a 90° angle
Lines that intersect at one point
Lines that lie on the same plane but may intersect
Lines that never meet
Parallel lines are lines in the same plane that never intersect, regardless of how far they extend. This essential definition is crucial for understanding many geometric relationships.
Which theorem states that the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent interior angles?
Alternate Interior Angles Theorem
Triangle Sum Theorem
Exterior Angle Theorem
Corresponding Angles Postulate
The Exterior Angle Theorem states that an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its remote interior angles. This fundamental theorem is frequently used to solve problems involving triangle angles.
In a triangle, if two angles measure 50° and 60°, what is the measure of the third angle?
80°
100°
70°
90°
The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°. Subtracting the sum of the given angles (50° and 60°) from 180° gives 70° for the third angle.
If two lines are perpendicular, what is the measure of the angle between them?
60°
90°
45°
30°
Perpendicular lines intersect to form a right angle, which measures 90°. This property is one of the simplest and most commonly used in geometric constructions.
What is required to prove two triangles are congruent using the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) postulate?
Two angles and a non-included side congruent
Three pairs of congruent sides
Two pairs of congruent sides and the included angle congruent
Two pairs of congruent sides and a non-included angle congruent
The SAS postulate states that two triangles are congruent if two corresponding sides and the included angle are congruent. This is a fundamental method for proving triangle congruence in geometry.
A triangle has side lengths of 3, 4, and 5. What property does this triangle have?
It is an equilateral triangle
It is a right triangle
It is an obtuse triangle
It is an isosceles triangle
A triangle with sides 3, 4, and 5 satisfies the Pythagorean theorem, which means it is a right triangle. This set of numbers is an example of a Pythagorean triple, widely used in geometry problems.
What is the formula for the area of a triangle?
side squared
½ - base - height
(base + height) ÷ 2
base - height
The area of a triangle is calculated as one half of the product of its base and height. This formula is a cornerstone in geometry and is essential for solving many area problems.
Given two similar triangles with a ratio of corresponding sides 2:3, what is the ratio of their areas?
2:3
6:9
3:2
4:9
The areas of similar triangles are proportional to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides. For a ratio of 2:3, squaring gives 4:9.
What is the term for a segment connecting a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side?
Median
Angle bisector
Altitude
Perpendicular bisector
A median connects a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposing side, thereby dividing the side into equal segments. This concept is fundamental in locating a triangle's centroid.
What is the distance formula between two points (x₝, y₝) and (x₂, y₂) in the coordinate plane?
|x₂ - x₝| + |y₂ - y₝|
√[(x₂ + x₝)² + (y₂ + y₝)²]
(x₂ - x₝) + (y₂ - y₝)
√[(x₂ - x₝)² + (y₂ - y₝)²]
The distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem and calculates the distance between two points in the plane. By finding the differences in the x and y coordinates and applying this formula, we obtain the distance.
Which of the following is not necessarily a property of all parallelograms?
Diagonals bisect each other
Opposite sides are parallel
Opposite angles are equal
All angles are right angles
While parallelograms have diagonals that bisect each other, equal opposite angles, and parallel opposite sides, it is not required that all angles be right angles. Only specific types such as rectangles have all right angles.
In triangle ABC, the medians from vertices A, B, and C intersect at point G. What is the ratio of the length from A to G compared to the entire length of the median from A?
3:4
2:3
1:3
1:2
The centroid of a triangle divides each median in a 2:1 ratio, with the longer segment being from the vertex to the centroid. This means that the vertex-to-centroid segment is two-thirds of the total median length, giving a ratio of 2:3.
For a triangle with side lengths in arithmetic progression, which condition is necessary for the sides to form a valid triangle?
The sum of the smallest and largest sides must be greater than twice the middle side
The middle side must be the average of the smallest and largest sides
The common difference must be zero
The difference between the largest and smallest sides must be less than the middle side
If a triangle's sides are in arithmetic progression (a, a+d, a+2d), then the triangle inequality for the two smallest sides requires that a + (a+d) > (a+2d), which simplifies to a > d. This is equivalent to ensuring that the difference between the largest and smallest sides (2d) is less than the middle side (a+d).
A circle has its equation given by (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r². If the circle passes through the points (h, k+r) and (h+r, k), what is the measure of the angle at the center formed by the radii to these points?
45°
120°
90°
60°
The points (h, k+r) and (h+r, k) lie directly above and to the right of the center (h, k), respectively. As one radius is vertical and the other horizontal, they form a right angle (90°) at the center.
In quadrilateral ABCD, if the diagonals intersect at point E and bisect each other, which conclusion must be true?
ABCD is a rhombus
ABCD is a rectangle
ABCD is a parallelogram
ABCD is a square
A quadrilateral whose diagonals bisect each other must be a parallelogram. While rectangles, squares, and rhombuses share this property, it is only sufficient to conclude that the figure is a parallelogram.
Which equation correctly represents the Law of Cosines for a triangle with sides a, b, and c, where angle C is opposite side c?
c² = 2a² + 2b² - 4ab cos(C)
c² = a² - b² - 2ab cos(C)
c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos(C)
c² = a² + b² + 2ab cos(C)
The Law of Cosines is stated as c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos(C), where C is the angle opposite side c. This formula generalizes the Pythagorean theorem to all triangles, making it essential for solving non-right triangle problems.
