||  is parallel to
_|_ is perpendicular to
 





On this test there is an additional 
symbol you should be aware of:

"/" indicates division.  6/3 means
6 divided by 3.











Circle of radius r:
             2
Area = ¸ x r ;

Circumference = 2 x ¸ x r.

The number of degrees of arc in a
circle is 360.

The measure of degrees in a straight
angle is 180.





Triangle:  The sum of the measures in
           degrees of the angles of a
           triangle is 180.

If angle CDA is a right angle, then
 (1) area of triangle ABC = (AB x CD)/2
       2     2     2
 (2) AC  = AD  + DC








Note:  Figures which accompany problems
in this test are intended to provide
information useful in solving the
problems.  They are drawn as accurately
as possible EXCEPT when it is stated in
a specific problem that its figure is
not drawn to scale.  All figures lie in
a plane unless otherwise indicated.
All numbers used are real numbers.
