PRACTICE TEST ON GEOMETRY

For each item, present your answers in reasonable lowest terms. Calculators are not allowed.
The actual exam is a multiple choice one, but working on problems without choices encourages
critical thinking.

1. AREAS. A square has an area of 16 sq. units. A 6 by 5 rectangle was placed atop the
square such that the midpoint of the longest sides of the figures meet. What is the area
needed (in sq. units) to be filled in order to obtain the next perfect square?

2. AREAS. Two circle with radius 5 was overlapped to create a Venn

diagram such that the circle passes through the centers of each other.
Denote points A and B as the points of intersection and P and Q as the
,
centers. Line segments ,
,
forms a rhombus. Find the area
of rhombus PAQB.

3. AREAS. A circle with a radius 3 cm was inscribed in a square. Find the Figure 1. For item 3
area of the shaded region.

6. TRIVIA. A triangle was drawn in a spherical styro ball.
What is the sum of its angles? Figure 2. For item 5. Not drawn to
scale.
7. TRIANGLES. A string of length 144 cm was folded into three pieces of ratio 3:4:5 in
order to create a triangle. What is the area of the triangle?

8. REGULAR POLYGONS. Hexagons can be seen in nature as it is efficient in packing as

seen in honeycombs. A queen bee named Bee Yond See decided that her hardworking
bees will create a honeycomb by using hexagons of side length 2 cm for her soon to be
honeycomb queendom. She wanted to see how big these hexagons will be so she
ordered an n-gon composed of 7 pieces of hexagon placed around a center hexagon
(included in the 7).

a. What type of n-gon did Her Majesbee Bee Yond See had ordered?
b. What is the perimeter of this n-gon?
c. What is the area of this n-gon?
d. The n-gon being described is only two-dimensional. Adding a height of length 1 cm,
what is the volume of the new solid?
