Geometry Chapter 3 Vocabulary - Quiz

Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    Eight sides and eight angles.

    • Pentagon

    • Octoagon

    • Concave

    • Cone

    Correct Answer
    A. Octoagon
    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "Octagon" because an octagon has eight sides and eight angles. An octagon is a polygon with eight straight sides and eight interior angles. It is a two-dimensional shape that is commonly used in architecture and design. The prefix "octo-" in "octagon" refers to the number eight, which accurately describes the characteristics of this shape.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    A triangle with one right side.

    • Acute triangle

    • Equiangular triangle

    • Obtuse triangle

    • Right triangle

    Correct Answer
    A. Right triangle
    Explanation
    A right triangle is a triangle that has one angle measuring 90 degrees, which is a right angle. In this case, the given triangle has one right side, indicating that it has a right angle. Therefore, the correct answer is "Right triangle."

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Correponding angles are congruent.

    • False

    • True

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Corresponding angles are congruent means that when two lines are crossed by a transversal, the angles that are in the same position on the lines are equal in measure. This statement is true, as corresponding angles will always be congruent.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    A simple closed two-dimensional shape made of line segments.

    • Trapezoid

    • Rhombus

    • Polygon

    • Kite

    Correct Answer
    A. Polygon
    Explanation
    A polygon is a simple closed two-dimensional shape made of line segments. It can have any number of sides, as long as the sides do not cross each other. A trapezoid is a specific type of quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all sides of equal length. A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length. Therefore, the correct answer is polygon, as it is the most general term that encompasses all the other shapes listed.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Same interior angles are supplementary.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement "Same interior angles are supplementary" is true. Supplementary angles are angles that add up to 180 degrees. If two angles are interior angles of the same pair of parallel lines, they are called corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are congruent, meaning they have the same measure. Therefore, if two corresponding angles are congruent, their measures must add up to 180 degrees, making them supplementary.
