Mathematics Knowledge

Yesterday I presented a question about a shape.

How many sides does an undecagon have?

  1. 9
  2. 10
  3. 11
  4. 12

 

In working as an ASVAB tutor, I remind my students of the importance of reviewing the names of different shapes for the Mathematics Knowledge section of the ASVAB.  Geometry is an important skill to review for Mathematics Knowledge.  In my book, The ASVAB Tutor’s Mathematics Knowledge Study Guide, I review the names of various shapes.  Did you know how many sides an undecagon has?  An undecagon has 11 sides.  Another name for an undecagon is a hendecagon.  Undecagon comes from the Latin while hendecagon comes from the Greek.
