What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?
180°
90°
360°
270°
The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is always 180°. This fundamental property is the basis for many geometric proofs and problem solving.
Which of the following is a property of an isosceles triangle?
It has two congruent sides.
All angles are equal.
It has exactly one right angle.
It has three congruent sides.
An isosceles triangle has at least two sides that are congruent, which in turn makes the base angles equal. This property is frequently used to solve for unknown measures in triangles.
When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, which pair of angles are congruent?
Alternate interior angles.
Adjacent angles.
Complementary angles.
Supplementary angles.
Alternate interior angles are congruent when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal. This property is crucial in proving various theorems in geometry.
What is the measure of a central angle in a circle that intercepts an arc equal to one-fourth of the circle?
90°
45°
120°
180°
Since the entire circle measures 360°, one-fourth of that is 90°. This concept is a direct consequence of understanding arc measures and central angles in circle geometry.
Which of the following is true for a rectangle?
Opposite sides are equal and all angles are 90°.
All sides are equal.
Only adjacent sides are parallel.
Diagonals are perpendicular.
A rectangle is defined by having opposite sides that are equal and parallel, with all interior angles equal to 90°. This distinguishes it from other quadrilaterals such as squares and rhombuses.
Which property is always true for a parallelogram?
Opposite sides are parallel and equal in length.
All angles are 90°.
Diagonals always bisect the angles.
It has exactly one pair of parallel sides.
In every parallelogram, opposite sides are both parallel and equal. This property is fundamental in determining other attributes such as diagonals and angle relationships within parallelograms.
Which congruence criterion is used when two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to those of another triangle?
ASA postulate.
SAS postulate.
SSS postulate.
RHS condition.
The ASA postulate states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent. This is a standard method used in proving triangle congruence.
In similar triangles, what remains constant between corresponding sides?
The ratio of corresponding sides.
The difference between corresponding sides.
The sum of corresponding sides.
The product of corresponding sides.
In similar triangles, the lengths of corresponding sides maintain the same ratio, known as the scale factor. This property supports solving problems involving proportional relationships.
If a right triangle has legs measuring 3 and 4 units, what is the length of the hypotenuse?
5 units
6 units
7 units
8 units
By applying the Pythagorean theorem (3² + 4² = 9 + 16), the sum is 25 and the square root of 25 gives 5. This classic example is often used to illustrate right triangle properties.
What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?
A = 1/2 (b1 + b2) * h
A = b * h
A = l * w
A = 1/2 * base * height
The area of a trapezoid is found by taking the average of the two bases and multiplying by the height, summarized by the formula A = 1/2 (b1 + b2) * h. This formula efficiently accounts for the shape's non-uniform top and bottom sides.
Which formula correctly represents the circumference of a circle?
C = 2πr
C = πr²
C = πd²
C = 2rπ²
The circumference of a circle is given by the formula C = 2πr where r represents the radius. This formula establishes a direct linear relationship between the radius and the perimeter of the circle.
What is the sum of the interior angles of a hexagon?
720°
540°
600°
360°
The sum of the interior angles of any polygon can be calculated using the formula (n - 2) × 180°. For a hexagon, where n = 6, the sum is (6 - 2) × 180° = 720°.
According to the inscribed angle theorem, how is an inscribed angle related to its intercepted arc?
It is half the measure of its intercepted arc.
It is equal to the intercepted arc.
It is twice the intercepted arc.
It is the square of the intercepted arc.
The inscribed angle theorem states that an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc. This relationship is essential for solving problems involving circles and arc measures.
What is the distance between the points (2, -1) and (5, 3)?
5
6
7
5.5
Using the distance formula, the distance is calculated as √[(5-2)² + (3-(-1))²] = √[3² + 4²] = √(9+16) = √25 = 5. This formula is fundamental in coordinate geometry.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line with the equation y = 2x + 3?
-1/2
1/2
-2
2
The slope of the given line is 2, so the slope of any line perpendicular to it is the negative reciprocal, which is -1/2. This concept is central in understanding relationships between lines in coordinate geometry.
If a line tangent to a circle meets a radius at the point of tangency, what is the measure of the angle between them?
90°
45°
60°
120°
A tangent to a circle is always perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency. This fundamental property results in a 90° angle between them.
What is the image of the point (3, 4) after a 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin?
(-4, 3)
(4, -3)
(-3, 4)
(3, -4)
A 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin transforms the point (x, y) to (-y, x). Applying this rule to (3, 4) gives (-4, 3). This rotation is a classic transformation in the coordinate plane.
In a circle, if two chords are congruent, what can be said about their distances from the center?
They are equidistant from the center.
The farther chord has a larger distance from the center.
They intersect at the center.
They subtend supplementary arcs.
In circle geometry, congruent chords are always equidistant from the center. This property is used to prove related theorems and solve problems involving circles.
The incenter of a triangle is found at the intersection of which segments?
Angle bisectors.
Medians.
Altitudes.
Perpendicular bisectors.
The incenter is the common intersection point of the angle bisectors of a triangle. It is the center of the inscribed circle and equidistant from all sides of the triangle.
A rectangle has a length that is 3 times its width. If the perimeter is 64 units, what is its area?
192
128
256
160
Let the width be x; then the length is 3x. The perimeter is given by 2(x + 3x) = 8x, so x = 8. The area is then length × width = 24 × 8 = 192. This problem combines algebraic manipulation with geometric formulas.
