Description

Learn geometry at your own pace What are congruent circles? How do you find the hypotenuse of atriangle? What is the sum of the angles in a decagon? How can youapply geometric equations to your daily life? With the unbeatablestudy companion Geometry: A Self-Teaching Guide, you'll discoverthe answers to these questions and many more. This thorough primer presents an easy-to-follow, proven method forgrasping the key concepts of geometry. You'll progress step by stepthrough plane, solid, and analytic geometry and then move on togeometric applications for calculus. You'll build yourproblem-solving skills along the way through detailed examples,reviews, exercises, and answer explanations. The clearly structuredformat of Geometry makes it fully accessible, providing an easilyunderstood, comprehensive overview for everyone from high schoolstudents to adult learners to math mavens. Like all Self-Teaching Guides, Geometry allows you to buildgradually on what you have learned-at your own pace. Questions andself-tests reinforce the information in each chapter and allow youto skip ahead or focus on specific areas of concern.
