GRE Subject Test: Math

The GRE Subject Test in Math assesses knowledge and skills in undergraduate-level mathematics, including calculus, algebra, and geometry.

Basic Concepts

Geometry Essentials

Exploring Shapes and Space

Geometry lets you measure and understand shapes, sizes, and the properties of space. You'll work with points, lines, angles, and figures like triangles, circles, and polygons.

Key Topics

  • Triangles: Learn about angles, sides, and the famous Pythagorean theorem.
  • Circles: Discover properties like radius, diameter, and circumference.
  • Polygons: Explore shapes with many sides, such as pentagons and hexagons.

Everyday Uses

Geometry is used in architecture, art, engineering, and navigation.

Practice Makes Perfect

  • Draw and label different shapes.
  • Calculate areas and perimeters.

Quick Challenges

  • Find the area of a triangle with base \(5\) and height \(4\).
  • Calculate the circumference of a circle with radius \(3\).

Examples

  • A triangle with sides \(3, 4, 5\) is a right triangle.

  • A circle with radius \(3\) has circumference \(2\pi \times 3 = 6\pi\).

In a Nutshell

Geometry studies the properties and relationships of points, lines, and shapes.
