GED Math
Absolute value - answer-the distance from a number to zero on the number line
Acute angle - answer-an angle measuring less than 90 degrees
Adjacent angles - answer-angles that share one side
Arc - answer-a portion of the circumference of a circle
Area - answer-a measure of the amount of surface on a closed plane figure
Associative property - answer-for addition and multiplication, three numbers that can be
grouped in any order. The sum or product will be the same. For any number a, b, and c, (a+b)+c
= a+(b+c) and (ab)c = a(bc)
Average (mean) - answer-the sum of a set of numbers divided by the number of numbers in a
set
Binomial - answer-a polynomial which is the sum of two terms (ex. 4x + x^3)
Box plot - answer-a way of graphically depicting groups of numerical data through their
quartiles
Circle - answer-a plane figure, each point of which is the same distance from the center
Circumference - answer-the distance around a circle
Coefficient - answer-a number or symbol multiplied with a variable or an unknown quantity in
an algebraic term
Common denominator - answer-for a set of fractions, a number into which each denominator
can divide evenly
Commutative property - answer-for addition and multiplication, numbers can be added or
multiplied in any order. The sum or product will be the same. For any numbers a and b,
a+b+=b+a and ab=ba
Commutative property - answer-for addition and multiplication, numbers can be added or
multiplied in any order. The sum or product will be the same. For any numbers a and b,
a+b+=b+a and ab=ba
Complementary angles - answer-angles whose sum is 90 degrees
Composite figure - answer-a combination of other figures
Cone - answer-a 3-dimensional figure whose base is a circle and whose height is the
perpendicular distance from the base to the vertex
, GED Math
Congruent figures - answer-geometric figures with exactly the same shape and same size
Consecutive - answer-one following the other, for example, 19 and 20 are consecutive numbers
Consecutive - answer-one following the other, for example, 19 and 20 are consecutive numbers
Coordinate plane - answer-a flat surface divided by a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis
Coordinates - answer-a pair of numbers in the form (x,y) that identify the distance of a point
from the origin or center on the coordinate plane. The first number tells the distance to the left
or right of the vertical axis, and the second number tells the distance above or below the
horizontal axis
Cosine - answer-for an acute angle in a right triangle, the ratio of the adjacent side to the
hypotenuse; abbreviated as cos
Cross Products - answer-The product of the numbers which are diagonal from one another in a
proportion equation. Should be equal on both sides.
Cube - answer-a 3-dimensional figure that contains six square faces. At each vertex, all sides
meet at right angles.
Cube - answer-a number multiplied by itself three times (2^3, or 2 x 2 x 2 = 8)
Cube root - answer-the opposite of the cube of a number; a square root, but to the 3rd power,
rather than the 2nd. (the cube root of 8 is 2, because 2 x 2 x 2 = 8)
Cube root - answer-the opposite of the cube of a number; a square root, but to the 3rd power,

Cylinder - answer-a 3-dimensional figure that has both a circular base and a circular top, and
whose height is the perpendicular distance from the top to the bottom
Data - answer-a collection of facts, such as numbers, words, measurements, observations or
even just descriptions of things
Data - answer-a collection of facts, such as numbers, words, measurements, observations or
even just descriptions of things
Decimal - answer-a fraction in which the whole is divided into tenths, hundredths, thousandths,
ten-thousandths, and so on
Degree - answer-the unit of measurement for angles. One degree is 1/360 of a circle
Denominator - answer-the bottom number in a fraction
