Skills covered

  • Distinguishing points, lines, segments, rays, planes, collinear points, coplanar figures, intersections, and geometric notation
  • Classifying acute, obtuse, right, straight, adjacent, vertical, complementary, supplementary, and linear-pair angles
  • Applying the Ruler, Protractor, Segment Addition, Angle Addition, and Two-Point Postulates
  • Using midpoint, angle-bisector, perpendicular-bisector, parallel-line, and three-dimensional relationships
  • Applying number-line and coordinate distance, midpoint, slope, equations, rigid motions, and spatial reasoning

How to use these practice tests

Translate the words into a sketch or coordinate model. Label endpoints, vertices, measures, and intersections before selecting the definition, postulate, or formula that applies.

1. QuestionMultiple choice

What does the Ruler Postulate allow you to do?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Assign real numbers to points on a line so distance can be found by absolute difference..

  1. Identify the geometry object or relationship: Determine whether the question describes a point, line, segment, ray, plane, angle, postulate, coordinate, or spatial relationship.
  2. Apply the definition or postulate: The Ruler Postulate establishes a coordinate relationship on a line, where the distance between points is the absolute difference of their coordinates.
  3. Check the answer: The correct answer is Assign real numbers to points on a line so distance can be found by absolute difference..

The Ruler Postulate establishes a coordinate relationship on a line, where the distance between points is the absolute difference of their coordinates.

2. QuestionMultiple choice
