COMPREHENSIVE QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2025 GUIDE
A property of a shape whereby turning it a number of degrees less than
360 creates an identical shape. A shape may have more than one
degree measure of rotation that creates an identical shape.
- Correct Answer - rotational symmetry
Three-dimensional figure with two parallel, same-shaped bases and
rectangular sides. The bases and sides meet at right angles.
- Correct Answer - right prism
A three-dimensional object in which all points on the surface are
equidistant to the center.
- Correct Answer - sphere
Right prism with a triangular base.
- Correct Answer - triangular prism
A right prism in which every shape is a square.
,- Correct Answer - square prism
Right prism with a rectangular base.
- Correct Answer - rectangular prism
A three-dimensional object with sides that are triangles and a base that
is a polygon. - Correct Answer - pyramid
Distance from the vertex to the base.
- Correct Answer - slant height
A three-dimensional object with two flat ends that are circles or ellipticals
and one curved side. - Correct Answer - cylinder
Vertical distance that extends from the top of a figure to its base and
forms a right angle. - Correct Answer - height
One full rotation, or 360 degrees. - Correct Answer - revolution
Figure composed of several basic shapes. - Correct Answer - composite
shape
The total area of the exterior of a three-dimensional object.
, - Correct Answer - surface area
A three-dimensional object with a circular base and a single, curved side.
- Correct Answer - cone
A unit that is used to describe a two-dimensional measurement, like
area. In geometry, these units measure two-dimensional figures, like
rectangles. - Correct Answer - square units
A point opposite the base of a pyramid. In a right pyramid, this point is
directly centered above the base. - Correct Answer - apex
Amount of space inside an object. - Correct Answer - volume
Set of numbers or shapes arranged according to a rule. - Correct Answer
- pattern
The sum of the lengths of the sides of a two-dimensional figure. - Correct
Answer - perimeter
A unit that is used to describe a one-dimensional measurement, like
distance or length. In geometry, these units measure one-dimensional
figures, like line segments. - Correct Answer - linear unit
