Which of the following best describes a line segment?
A straight path that extends infinitely in both directions
A part of a line with two endpoints
A curved path connecting two points
A line that starts at a point and goes on forever
A line segment is defined by having two endpoints, which distinguishes it from a line that extends infinitely. This basic concept is fundamental in geometry.
What is the sum of the interior angles in a triangle?
180 degrees
360 degrees
90 degrees
270 degrees
In any triangle, the three interior angles always add up to 180 degrees. This property is a cornerstone in triangle geometry.
Which of the following is considered a right angle?
An angle measuring 45 degrees
An angle measuring 90 degrees
An angle measuring 180 degrees
An angle measuring 60 degrees
A right angle is exactly 90 degrees, which is a key concept used to identify perpendicular lines and many geometric figures. Recognizing this property is essential in geometry.
How would you define a polygon?
A closed figure composed of straight line segments
A set of points equidistant from a center
A line that extends infinitely
A curved line that forms a continuous path
A polygon is defined as a closed figure made up of a finite number of straight line segments. This fundamental definition excludes curves and infinite extensions.
What do we call a line that touches a circle at exactly one point?
Secant
Chord
Tangent
Diameter
A line that touches a circle at exactly one point, without cutting through it, is called a tangent. This concept is vital when studying the properties of circles.
What is the measure of each interior angle in a regular hexagon?
120 degrees
90 degrees
100 degrees
144 degrees
A regular hexagon has 6 sides, and the sum of its interior angles is (6 - 2) × 180 = 720 degrees. Dividing 720 by 6 gives each angle as 120 degrees.
In triangle ABC, if angle A is 50 degrees and angle B is 60 degrees, what is the measure of angle C?
70 degrees
80 degrees
90 degrees
60 degrees
Since the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, subtracting 50 and 60 from 180 yields 70 degrees for angle C. This property is fundamental to all triangles.
What is the area of a triangle with a base of 8 units and a height of 5 units?
20 square units
40 square units
13 square units
15 square units
The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 multiplied by the base and the height. Substituting the given values (1/2 × 8 × 5) results in an area of 20 square units.
What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 7 units?
14π units
7π units
49π units
28π units
The circumference of a circle is determined by the formula 2πr. With a radius of 7 units, the calculation 2π × 7 yields 14π units.
Which of the following is a true property of parallelograms?
Opposite sides and angles are congruent
All sides are equal
Diagonals are always perpendicular
No sides are parallel
Parallelograms are defined by having two pairs of parallel sides, and their opposite sides and angles are congruent. Not all parallelograms have equal sides or perpendicular diagonals.
What is the slope of a line parallel to the line 3x - 4y = 12?
3/4
-3/4
4/3
-4/3
First, converting 3x - 4y = 12 into slope-intercept form gives y = (3/4)x - 3, which shows that the slope is 3/4. Any line parallel to this one will have the same slope.
Which of the following is true about similar triangles?
They have equal corresponding angles and proportional corresponding sides
They have equal corresponding sides only
They are always congruent
They have identical areas
Similar triangles have identical corresponding angles, and their corresponding sides are in proportion. They may differ in size, so they are not necessarily congruent.
What is the measure of each exterior angle of a regular octagon?
45 degrees
40 degrees
90 degrees
60 degrees
The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is always 360 degrees. For a regular octagon, dividing 360 by 8 gives each exterior angle as 45 degrees.
Which transformation involves resizing a figure while preserving its shape?
A transformation that produces a figure that is the same shape but a different size
A transformation that rotates a figure about a fixed point
A transformation that reflects a figure across a line
A transformation that shifts a figure without changing its size
This transformation is known as a dilation, which changes the size of a figure while preserving its shape and proportional dimensions. It results in a figure that is similar to the original.
If the equation of a circle is (x - 2)² + (y + 3)² = 16, what is the radius of the circle?
4
2
16
8
The given circle equation is in the standard form (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r², where r² = 16. Taking the square root of 16 shows that the radius is 4.
Using the Law of Cosines, find the measure of the angle opposite the side of length 8 in a triangle with sides 5, 7, and 8.
Approximately 82 degrees
Approximately 45 degrees
Approximately 60 degrees
Approximately 90 degrees
The Law of Cosines states that cos(C) = (a² + b² - c²) / (2ab). Substituting a = 5, b = 7, and c = 8 gives cos(C) ≈ 1/7, so angle C is approximately arccos(1/7), which is about 82 degrees.
What is the equation of the line perpendicular to 3x - 4y = 12 that passes through the point (2, -1)?
y + 1 = (-4/3)(x - 2)
y - 1 = (-4/3)(x - 2)
y + 1 = (4/3)(x - 2)
y - 1 = (4/3)(x - 2)
Converting 3x - 4y = 12 to slope-intercept form reveals a slope of 3/4. The line perpendicular to it has a slope of -4/3; using the point-slope formula with (2, -1) gives the correct equation.
Which transformation rotates a figure 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin?
Rotation
Reflection
Translation
Dilation
A rotation changes the orientation of a figure without altering its shape or size. A 90-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin is a standard example of this transformation.
A circle and a line have exactly one point in common. What is this line called?
Tangent
Secant
Chord
Diameter
When a line touches a circle at exactly one point, it is called a tangent. This is a fundamental concept in circle geometry and is distinct from secants and chords.
What is the distance between the points (3, -2) and (-1, 4) in the coordinate plane?
2√13
√13
2√7
√52
The distance formula, √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²], yields √[(3 - (-1))² + (-2 - 4)²] = √(16 + 36) = √52, which simplifies to 2√13. This is the precise distance between the two points.
