SOME SAMPLE QUESTIONS FROM THE DATABASE

1. Given the diagram, determine the description which is false.

            A) The circle is inscribed in the square.

            B) The triangle is inscribed in the circle.      
           
            C) The square is inscribed in the circle.                    

            D) The circle circumscribes the triangle.

2. A student is constructing an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle.  They got to this point of the construction and realized that a smaller equilateral was hidden in the diagram, ∠ABC.  Why would this be an equilateral triangle?

Answer: 

AB = AC (congruent radii of circle A) and

CA = CB (congruent radii of circle C)

AB = AC = CB (transitive) Three congruent sides form an equilateral triangle.

ANSWER:

I have provided an amazing amount of resources on this site to help you to succeed in teaching common core geometry. That is my goal - that you and I make it through this difficult transition!!

I have held back giving out my:

• notes (in an editable form),
• my worksheets & their answer keys,
• my activities,
• and my assessments & their keys.

The purchase of these items, accompanied by the materials on the site, will provide you with a smooth year of teaching.
