Georgia Milestones Grades 6-8 Geometry Practice

What the test measures

Geometry skills

Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, surface area, and volume
Solve problems involving angle relationships, the Pythagorean Theorem, and properties of transformations
Draw, construct, and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them

Standards basis

Georgia Standards of Excellence (state-adopted content standards) — Georgia

How the Georgia Milestones reports it

Georgia Milestones is Georgia’s own statewide assessment system, aligned to Georgia’s state-adopted content standards rather than a shared national test framework. The official page says it measures knowledge and skills in the state-adopted standards for mathematics across grades 3 through high school ([Georgia Department of Education](https://gadoe.org/assessment-accountability/georgia-milestones/)).

Find the volume of a cone with radius $3$ and height $5$ . Use $\pi = 3$ .

$V = \dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h = \dfrac{1}{3} \times 3 \times 9 \times 5 = 45$ .

A circle has a radius of $7$ meters. What is the area, in square meters, of the circle?

The area of a circle is $A = \pi r^{2}$ . Substitute $r = 7$ : $A = \pi(7)^{2} = 49\pi\textsf{.}$

Find the area of a parallelogram with base $b = 4$ and height $h = 6$ .

Parallelogram area $= b \cdot h = 4 \cdot 6 = 24$ .

Two legs of a right triangle measure $6$ and $8$ . What is the hypotenuse?

$\sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10$ .

Rectangles $JKLM$ and $NPQR$ are similar. The perimeter of rectangle $JKLM$ is $18\textsf{,}$ and the perimeter of rectangle $NPQR$ is $45\textsf{.}$ Side $JK$ corresponds to side $NP\textsf{,}$ and $JK = 6\textsf{.}$ What is the length of $NP\textsf{?}$

The scale factor from rectangle $JKLM$ to rectangle $NPQR$ equals the perimeter ratio $\dfrac{45}{18} = \dfrac{5}{2}\textsf{.}$ So $NP = 6 \cdot \dfrac{5}{2} = 15\textsf{.}$
