SHSAT SHSAT Geometry 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the area of a rectangle with length 8 cm and width 5 cm?
- 26 cm²
- 40 cm² (Correct answer)
- 13 cm²
- 80 cm²
Correct answer: 40 cm²
Area of a rectangle = length × width = 8 × 5 = 40 cm².
Question 2: The sum of angles in a triangle is always:
- 90°
- 270°
- 360°
- 180° (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 180°
The interior angles of any triangle always sum to 180°.
Question 3: A circle has a radius of 6. What is its circumference? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
- 18.84
- 37.68 (Correct answer)
- 113.04
- 75.36
Correct answer: 37.68
Circumference = 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 6 = 37.68.
Question 4: Two lines that never intersect and are in the same plane are called:
- Perpendicular
- Parallel (Correct answer)
- Intersecting
- Skew
Correct answer: Parallel
Parallel lines lie in the same plane and never intersect, maintaining equal distance apart.
Question 5: What is the perimeter of a square with side length 7?
- 14
- 21
- 49
- 28 (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 28
Perimeter of a square = 4 × side = 4 × 7 = 28.
Question 6: If two angles are supplementary, their sum equals:
- 90°
- 45°
- 270°
- 180° (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 180°
