What is the measure of a straight angle?
180°
90°
0°
360°
A straight angle measures 180° because it forms a straight line. This is a fundamental concept in geometry.
Which of the following defines a triangle?
A polygon with two sides
A polygon with four sides
A polygon with five sides
A polygon with three sides
A triangle is defined as a polygon with exactly three sides and three angles. This basic definition is essential for studying geometric figures.
What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?
90°
360°
270°
180°
By the Triangle Sum Theorem, the interior angles of any triangle always add up to 180°. This property is widely used in various geometry problems.
What do we call a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides?
Trapezoid
Isosceles trapezoid
Parallelogram
Rectangle
A trapezoid is defined as a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. Other quadrilaterals, like parallelograms and rectangles, have two pairs of parallel sides.
What is the formula for the area of a rectangle?
length + width
2(length + width)
length × width
length - width
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. This basic formula is essential for calculating space in geometry.
If two lines are parallel, what can be said about the alternate interior angles formed by a transversal?
They are complementary
They are supplementary
They are congruent
They are equal to 90° each
Alternate interior angles are congruent when a transversal intersects parallel lines. This property is a foundational aspect of parallelism in geometry.
What is the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle with legs measuring 3 and 4 units?
7
6
5
8
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, the hypotenuse is calculated as √(3² + 4²) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5. This forms a classic 3-4-5 right triangle.
In a circle, what is the distance around the circle called?
Circumference
Radius
Chord
Diameter
The circumference is the term for the distance around a circle. It is analogous to the perimeter of a polygon.
Which of the following is the correct formula for the area of a circle?
2πr
πd
πr
πr²
The area of a circle is found using the formula πr², where r represents the radius. This is one of the core formulas in circle geometry.
What is the measure of each interior angle of a regular hexagon?
120°
108°
150°
90°
A regular hexagon has six sides and its interior angles can be calculated using the formula (n-2)*180°/n, which results in 120° per angle. This property is unique to regular hexagons.
What is the relationship between the radius and diameter of a circle?
Diameter is half the radius
There is no fixed relationship
Diameter is twice the radius
They are equal
The diameter of a circle is always twice the length of its radius. This relationship is fundamental to understanding circles.
If two similar triangles have a scale factor of 1:2, what is the ratio of their areas?
Areas are equal
1:2
2:1
1:4
The areas of similar figures are proportional to the square of the scale factor. Thus, a scale factor of 1:2 means the area ratio is 1²:2², or 1:4.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line with a slope of 2?
1/2
2
-2
-1/2
The slope of a line perpendicular to another is the negative reciprocal of the given slope. Therefore, for a slope of 2, the perpendicular slope is -1/2.
In the standard equation of a circle (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r², what does r represent?
Radius
Center
Diameter
Circumference
In the standard form of a circle's equation, r represents the radius, which is the distance from the center (h, k) to any point on the circle. This is a key concept in circle geometry.
What does it mean for two lines in a plane to be parallel?
Both are true
Neither is true
They never intersect
They have the same slope
Parallel lines share the same slope and, as a result, they never intersect in the plane. Both conditions together define parallelism in geometry.
A rectangle has a perimeter of 50 units and a length that is 5 units longer than its width. What is the area of the rectangle?
125
160
200
150
Let the width be w and the length be w + 5. With a perimeter of 50, the equation 2(w + (w + 5)) = 50 leads to w = 10 and length = 15. Thus, the area is 10 × 15 = 150 square units.
Two circles have radii in the ratio 3:5. What is the ratio of their areas?
9:25
15:25
5:3
3:5
The areas of circles are proportional to the squares of their radii. Squaring the ratio 3:5 gives (3²):(5²), which simplifies to 9:25.
In triangle ABC, if angle A is 60° and the triangle is isosceles with AB = AC, what are the measures of angles B and C?
60° and 60°
50° and 50°
55° and 65°
70° and 70°
In an isosceles triangle with a vertex angle of 60°, the base angles must be equal. Since the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°, each base angle is 60°, making the triangle equilateral.
A right triangle has one acute angle measuring 35°. What is the measure of the other acute angle?
65°
45°
35°
55°
The two acute angles in a right triangle add up to 90°. Since one angle is 35°, the other must be 90° - 35° = 55°.
If the area of a square is increased by 44%, what is the approximate percentage increase in its side length?
40%
44%
10%
20%
Since the area of a square is the square of its side length, a 44% increase in area means the side length is multiplied by √1.44 = 1.2. This corresponds to a 20% increase in the side length.

Chapter 7 Geometry Test Cheat Sheet

  1. Tangent Line to Circle Theorem - When a line touches a circle at exactly one spot, it's called tangent and it's always perpendicular to the radius drawn to that point. Mastering this helps you spot right angles instantly in circle problems. Keep an eye out for that 90° clue! Review flashcards
  2. Arc Addition Postulate - If you have two arcs sitting side by side on the same circle, the total arc length is just the sum of each smaller arc. It's like adding puzzle pieces to reveal the whole picture. Use this to break big arcs into manageable bits! Study flashcards
  3. Inscribed Angle Theorem - An inscribed angle in a circle is always half the measure of its intercepted arc. Visualize the arc stretching across the circle's edge and you'll see why the angle shrinks to half its size. This rule makes angle calculations a breeze. Check flashcards
  4. Perpendicular Chord Bisector Theorem - If a diameter crosses a chord at a right angle, that diameter slices the chord (and its arc) into two equal pieces. Think of it as a perfect circle haircut - symmetrical and neat! Use it to find unknown chord lengths quickly. Review flashcards
  5. Equidistant Chords Theorem - In one circle (or equal circles), any two chords are congruent if they're the same distance from the center. Imagine the center shining a laser beam - wherever it hits chords at equal spots, those chords match in length. Great for spotting equal chords! Study flashcards
  6. Inscribed Quadrilateral Theorem - A four-sided figure fits snugly inside a circle if and only if its opposite angles add up to 180°. It's the ultimate circle-angle handshake. Use this to verify inscribed shapes and solve missing angle mysteries! Check flashcards
  7. Angles Inside the Circle Theorem - When two chords cross inside a circle, each resulting angle equals half the sum of the arcs they intercept. Picture two chords forming an "X" and watch those intercepted arcs add up. This trick unlocks interior angle puzzles fast! Review flashcards
  8. Angles Outside the Circle Theorem - An angle outside a circle, formed by two secants, a secant and tangent, or two tangents, measures half the difference of its intercepted arcs. Think of it as subtracting the smaller arc from the bigger one, then halving the result. Perfect for exterior angle hunts! Study flashcards
  9. Chord Segments Theorem - When two chords intersect inside a circle, the product of the segments of one chord equals the product of the segments of the other. Imagine two sticks crossing in a ring - multiply the parts on each stick and you've got equality! Handy for segment lengths. Check flashcards
  10. Equation of a Circle - The standard circle equation is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r², where (h, k) marks the center and r is the radius. Plug in your center coordinates and radius, and boom - you've got the circle's blueprint on the coordinate plane. Review flashcards
