Which pair of lines never intersect when drawn in the same plane?
Perpendicular lines
Intersecting lines
Convergent lines
Parallel lines
Parallel lines in a plane never meet, regardless of how far they are extended. This is a fundamental concept in geometry concerning line relationships.
Which quadrilateral has four equal sides and four right angles?
Square
Rhombus
Parallelogram
Rectangle
A square is a special type of rectangle and rhombus that has both four equal sides and four right angles. This property uniquely identifies it among quadrilaterals.
What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?
270 degrees
90 degrees
360 degrees
180 degrees
The interior angles of any triangle always add up to 180 degrees. This is one of the most basic and widely used facts in triangle geometry.
In a right triangle, which side is always the longest?
Adjacent leg
Altitude
Opposite leg
Hypotenuse
The hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle and is always the longest side in a right triangle. This directly follows from the Pythagorean theorem.
Which of the following best defines a circle?
A closed polygon with an infinite number of sides
A set of all points equidistant from a central point
A curved line that never intersects itself
A shape with one continuous edge and variable distance from the center
A circle is defined as the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed center point. This definition emphasizes the constant distance (radius) from the center to any point on the circle.
What is the measure of each interior angle in a regular pentagon?
108 degrees
90 degrees
120 degrees
100 degrees
The sum of interior angles in a pentagon is (5-2)×180 = 540 degrees. In a regular pentagon, each of the five angles is equal, so each measures 540/5 = 108 degrees.
Which theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides?
Pythagorean Theorem
Triangle Sum Theorem
Similarity Theorem
Law of Sines
The Pythagorean Theorem applies specifically to right triangles, relating the lengths of the sides. It states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Calculate the area of a right triangle with legs measuring 6 cm and 8 cm.
14 cm²
28 cm²
24 cm²
48 cm²
The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula 1/2 × base × height. For a right triangle with legs of 6 cm and 8 cm, the area is 1/2 × 6 × 8 = 24 cm².
A parallelogram has one angle measuring 70°. What is the measure of its adjacent angle?
90°
110°
70°
130°
In a parallelogram, consecutive angles are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180°. Therefore, if one angle is 70°, the adjacent angle must be 180° - 70° = 110°.
Which transformation produces a mirror image of a geometric figure?
Dilation
Translation
Rotation
Reflection
Reflection is the transformation that creates a mirror image of a figure by flipping it over a specific line. Unlike rotation, translation, or dilation, reflection changes the orientation of the figure.
What is the distance between the points (2, 3) and (7, 11)?
√89
√81
√85
√97
Using the distance formula, the distance is calculated as √[(7-2)² + (11-3)²] = √(25 + 64) = √89. This is the exact distance between the two given points.
If two lines in the coordinate plane are perpendicular and one has a slope of 3/4, what is the slope of the other?
4/3
-4/3
3/4
-3/4
For two lines to be perpendicular, the product of their slopes must equal -1. The negative reciprocal of 3/4 is -4/3, which is the correct slope for the other line.
A circle has its center at (4, 5) and passes through the point (4, 9). What is the radius of the circle?
3
5
9
4
The radius of a circle is the distance from its center to any point on the circle. The distance between (4, 5) and (4, 9) is |9 - 5| = 4, so the radius is 4.
Two similar triangles have corresponding side lengths in a ratio of 1:2. If the smaller triangle has a longest side of 5 units, what is the longest side of the larger triangle?
10
12
8
7
Similar triangles have proportional sides. With a scale factor of 2, the longest side of the larger triangle is 2 × 5 = 10 units.
An angle inscribed in a semicircle measures:
45°
180°
90°
60°
According to Thale's Theorem, an angle inscribed in a semicircle is always a right angle, measuring 90°. This is a classic result in circle geometry.
Find the area of an isosceles trapezoid with bases of 10 and 6, and legs of 5.
16√21
8√21
√21
4√21
First, determine the height using the Pythagorean theorem with half the difference of the bases: h = √(5² - 2²) = √(25 - 4) = √21. The area is then calculated as 1/2 × (10 + 6) × √21 = 8√21.
In a circle, two chords AB and CD intersect at point E. If AE = 3, EB = 4, and CE = 2, what is the length of ED?
5
7
8
6
By the chord intersection theorem, the product of the segments of one chord equals the product of the segments of the other. With 3 × 4 = 12, and knowing CE = 2, we have 2 × ED = 12, so ED = 6.
The vertices of a triangle are A(1,2), B(4,6), and C(7,2). What is the area of the triangle?
12
14
10
16
Using the coordinate formula for the area of a triangle, the computed area is |(1(6-2) + 4(2-2) + 7(2-6))|/2 = |(4 - 28)|/2 = 12. This confirms the correct area of the triangle.
What is the measure of one interior angle of a regular octagon?
120°
135°
140°
150°
A regular octagon has eight equal interior angles, and the sum of these angles is (8-2)×180 = 1080°. Dividing by 8 gives 1080°/8 = 135° for each interior angle.
A trapezoid is inscribed in a circle. Which property must this trapezoid have?
It must be regular
It must have a right angle
It must be isosceles
It must have parallel sides of equal length
Only an isosceles trapezoid can be inscribed in a circle because its base angles are equal, which is a necessary condition for a quadrilateral to be cyclic. This property distinguishes it from other trapezoids.
