MAAP Geometry 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: If two angles are supplementary, their measures add up to:
- 180° (Correct answer)
- 90°
- 360°
- 270°
Correct answer: 180°
Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures sum to 180°.
Question 2: What is the Pythagorean theorem?
- a² + b² = c² (Correct answer)
- a + b = c
- a² − b² = c²
- 2a + 2b = c
Correct answer: a² + b² = c²
The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the legs.
Question 3: How many sides does a hexagon have?
- 6 (Correct answer)
- 5
- 7
- 8
Correct answer: 6
A hexagon is a polygon with exactly 6 sides.
Question 4: What is the area of a circle with diameter 10? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
- 78.5 (Correct answer)
- 31.4
- 314
- 157
Correct answer: 78.5
Radius = 5; Area = πr² = 3.14 × 25 = 78.5.
Question 5: Two polygons are congruent if:
- They have the same shape and size (Correct answer)
- They have the same shape but different sizes
- They have the same size but different shapes
- They share one common side
Correct answer: They have the same shape and size
Congruent figures are identical in both shape and size.
Question 6: What is the measure of each interior angle of a regular quadrilateral (square)?
- 90° (Correct answer)
- 60°
- 120°
- 45°
Correct answer: 90°
A square has 4 equal interior angles totaling 360°; 360/4 = 90°.
If two angles are supplementary, their measures add up to:
