Mastering Practical Geometry

What is the measure of an angle that is complementary to a 35° angle?

• 25°

• 55°

• 45°

• 70°

Using a compass, how would you construct a circle with a radius of 5 cm?

• Place the compass point at the edge of the circle and draw a line.

• Set the compass width to 10 cm and draw the circle.

• To construct a circle with a radius of 5 cm using a compass, place the compass point at the center, set the width to 5 cm, and draw the circle.

• Use a ruler to measure 5 cm and draw a straight line.

If two triangles are similar, what can you say about their corresponding angles?

• The corresponding angles are supplementary.

• The corresponding angles are complementary.

• The corresponding angles are unequal.

• The corresponding angles are equal.

Calculate the area of a rectangle with a length of 8 cm and a width of 3 cm.

• 21 cm²

• 24 cm²

• 30 cm²

• 18 cm²

Draw a perpendicular bisector of a line segment measuring 6 cm.

• The bisector creates an angle of 45 degrees with the segment.

• The perpendicular bisector is a line that extends beyond the segment without intersecting it.

• The perpendicular bisector is a line that divides the 6 cm segment into two equal parts at a right angle.

• The bisector divides the segment into three equal parts.

What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?

• 120 degrees

• 90 degrees

• 180 degrees

• 360 degrees

Using a straightedge, how do you extend a line segment?

• Draw a circle around the line segment using the straightedge.

• Align the straightedge with the line segment and draw a line extending from one endpoint.

• Place the straightedge perpendicular to the line segment and draw a new line.

• Cut the line segment in half with the straightedge.

If two angles are congruent, what does that imply about their measures?

• Their measures are equal.

• Their measures are complementary.

• Their measures are different.

• Their measures are supplementary.

Calculate the perimeter of a square with a side length of 4 cm.

• 16 cm

• 8 cm

• 12 cm

• 20 cm

Construct an equilateral triangle with a side length of 6 cm using a compass and straightedge.

• A right triangle with a side length of 6 cm.

• An equilateral triangle with a side length of 6 cm.

• A square with a side length of 6 cm.

• An isosceles triangle with two sides of 6 cm.
