What is the sum of the interior angles in a triangle?
180°
270°
90°
360°
The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180°. This is a fundamental property in Euclidean geometry.
Which quadrilateral has exactly one pair of parallel sides?
Square
Rectangle
Trapezoid
Parallelogram
A trapezoid is defined as having only one pair of parallel sides. Other quadrilaterals like parallelograms, rectangles, and squares have two pairs of parallel sides.
What is the measure of each angle in an equilateral triangle?
120°
45°
60°
90°
In an equilateral triangle, all three angles are equal and the sum of the angles is 180°. Therefore, each angle measures 60°.
What is the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 8 units and a width of 3 units?
22
18
16
20
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated using the formula 2*(length + width). For a rectangle with length 8 and width 3, the calculation is 2*(8+3) = 22.
What is the correct term for a line that touches a circle at exactly one point?
Diameter
Tangent
Secant
Chord
A tangent is a line that touches a circle at exactly one point. This property distinguishes it from secants, chords, and diameters.
In a 30-60-90 triangle, if the hypotenuse is 10 units, what is the length of the side opposite the 30° angle?
0.5
10
5
5√3
In a 30-60-90 triangle, the side opposite the 30° angle is exactly half the length of the hypotenuse. Therefore, if the hypotenuse is 10, the side opposite the 30° angle is 5.
What is the area of a circle with a radius of 4 units?
32π
8π
4π
16π
The area of a circle is found using the formula A = πr². By substituting r = 4, the area becomes π*(4²) = 16π.
Which of the following is essential to prove two triangles are congruent using the ASA postulate?
Two sides and the included angle
One angle and two sides
Three sides
Two angles and the included side
The ASA postulate requires two angles and the included side to be congruent in both triangles. This set of congruencies ensures that the triangles are identical in shape and size.
What is the measure of each exterior angle of a regular decagon?
60°
25°
45°
36°
The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is always 360°. For a regular decagon with 10 sides, dividing 360° by 10 results in each exterior angle measuring 36°.
How do you determine the distance between two parallel lines?
Measure along a perpendicular segment
Measure along any connecting line
Measure between two endpoints
Take half the distance of a crossing segment
The shortest distance between two parallel lines is measured along a perpendicular line connecting them. This method ensures an accurate measure of the distance.
What is the volume of a rectangular prism with dimensions 3, 4, and 5 units?
20
36
60
12
The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height. Here, 3 × 4 × 5 equals 60.
Which geometric transformation produces a mirror image of a shape?
Translation
Rotation
Dilation
Reflection
Reflection is the transformation that produces a mirror image by flipping a shape over a line. Other transformations involve moving or resizing the shape without creating a mirror image.
If two supplementary angles are in the ratio 2:3, what are their measures?
72° and 108°
80° and 100°
90° and 90°
60° and 120°
Let the two angles be 2x and 3x. Since supplementary angles add up to 180°, solving 2x + 3x = 180 gives x = 36, resulting in angles of 72° and 108°.
What is the length of the hypotenuse in an isosceles right triangle with legs measuring 5 units each?
5√3
10
5√2
5
In an isosceles right triangle, the hypotenuse is given by the leg multiplied by √2. Therefore, with each leg measuring 5, the hypotenuse is 5√2.
Which symbol is used to denote congruence in geometry?
∥
≈
=
≅
The symbol '≅' is used to represent congruence in geometric proofs. This distinguishes it from other symbols that signify approximation, equality, or parallelism.
In a circle, if two chords are equal in length, what can be inferred about the arcs they subtend?
They have equal measures
They are complementary
One arc is larger
One arc is twice the other
Equal chords in a circle subtend arcs that have the same measure. This results from the symmetry in the circle and the properties of inscribed angles.
Given two similar triangles where AB/DE = 8/4 and BC/EF = x/5, what is the value of x?
10
8
12
5
Since AB/DE simplifies to 8/4, which is 2, the corresponding ratio for BC/EF must also be 2. Solving x/5 = 2 gives x = 10.
If the area A of a regular hexagon is given by A = (3√3/2) s², and A = 54√3, what is the value of s, the side length?
6
12
9
3
Starting with the equation (3√3/2) s² = 54√3, we can solve for s² by multiplying both sides by 2 and dividing by 3√3, which results in s² = 36. Taking the square root of 36 gives s = 6.
A circle is inscribed in a square. What is the ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the square?
π/2
4/π
π/4
1/2
For a circle inscribed in a square, the diameter of the circle is equal to the side of the square. The area of the circle is πr² with r = s/2, and the area of the square is s², so the ratio simplifies to (π(s/2)²)/s² = π/4.
If the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 3:4:5, what is the measure of the largest angle?
75°
60°
120°
90°
The sum of the parts of the ratio 3:4:5 is 12, and each part represents 15° (since 180°/12 = 15°). Multiplying the largest part, 5, by 15° gives 75°.

Geometry Chapter 7 Test & Answers Cheat Sheet

  1. Properties of Parallelograms - Parallelograms are the superheroes of quadrilaterals: they boast two pairs of opposite sides that are both parallel and congruent. Their opposite angles are twins, consecutive angles team up to make 180°, and the diagonals slice each other right down the middle. Ready to map out those sides? Explore parallelogram properties
  2. Characteristics of Rhombuses - A rhombus is a four”sided diamond where every side is equally fabulous (congruent!). Its diagonals are secret agents - always perpendicular - and they each bisect a pair of opposite angles. Dive into the world of equal”sided slants! Discover rhombus secrets
  3. Identifying Rectangles - Rectangles keep it right: all four angles are perfect 90° corners, with opposite sides that never lose their parallel or congruent status. Their diagonals aren't just for show - they're always twins in length. Snap that mental shot of right”angled greatness! Unlock rectangle facts
  4. Learning Trapezoids - Trapezoids are the wildcards with exactly one pair of parallel sides - think of a slanted stage. In an isosceles trapezoid, the non”parallel legs match up, base angles pair off, and diagonals even out in length. Join the trapezoid fan club! Trapezoid guide
  5. Understanding Kites - Kites in geometry aren't just for flying - they're quadrilaterals with two pairs of consecutive congruent sides and diagonals that cross at perfect right angles. Only one pair of opposite angles gets the congruent VIP treatment. Feel the breeze of these angular toys! Kite essentials
  6. Polygon Interior Angles Theorem - The magic formula 180(n - 2) tells you exactly how all the interior angles of a convex n‑gon add up. From triangles to hexagons, just plug in n and watch the sum appear like algebraic fireworks. Ready to crunch those angles? Interior angles explained
  7. Polygon Exterior Angles Theorem - No matter how many sides your convex polygon has, its exterior angles always form a 360° party when summed. It's like a never-ending return to zero on a spinner - no surprises! Give those outside angles a spin. Exterior angles in action
  8. Triangle Proportionality Theorem - Slice a triangle with a line parallel to one side, and watch the magic: the intersected sides split proportionally. It's the secret sauce behind similar triangles and scale models. Put on your geometry goggles! Test yourself on triangle theorem
  9. Midsegments in Triangles & Trapezoids - In triangles, a midsegment connects two midpoints, running parallel to the third side at half its length. In trapezoids, the midsegment swims between the bases, its length the sweet average of both. Geometry double feature! Midsegment mysteries
  10. Parallelogram Conditions Checklist - To prove a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, show one of these: both opposite sides parallel or congruent, opposite angles equal, one pair of sides both parallel and congruent, or diagonals that bisect each other.
