Learning geometry doesn’t have to hurt. With a little bit of friendly guidance, it can even be fun! Geometry For Dummies, 2^nd Edition, helps you make friends with lines, angles, theorems and postulates. It eases you into all the principles and formulas you need to analyze two- and three-dimensional shapes, and it gives you the skills and strategies you need to write geometry proofs.

Before you know it, you’ll be devouring proofs with relish. You’ll find out how a proof’s chain of logic works and discover some basic secrets for getting past rough spots. Soon, you’ll be proving triangles congruent, calculating circumferences, using formulas, and serving up pi. The non-proof parts of the book contain helpful formulas and tips that you can use anytime you need to shape up your knowledge of shapes. You’ll even get a feel for why geometry continues to draw people to careers in art, engineering, carpentry, robotics, physics, and computer animation, among others.You’ll discover how to:

Identify lines, angles, and planes
Measure segments and angles
Calculate the area of a triangle
Use tips and strategies to make proofs easier
Figure the volume and surface area of a pyramid
Bisect angles and construct perpendicular lines
Work with 3-D shapes
Work with figures in the x-y coordinate system

So quit scratching your head. Geometry For Dummies, 2^nd Edition, gets you un-stumped in a hurry.

Geometry Workbook For Dummies

Lowest new price: $8.99
Lowest used price: $3.55
List price: $16.99
Author: Mark Ryan

Geometry is one of the oldest mathematical subjects in history. Unfortunately, few geometry study guides offer clear explanations, causing many people to get tripped up or lost when trying to solve a proof—even when they know the terms and concepts like the back of their hand. However, this problem can be fixed with practice and some strategies for slicing through all the mumbo-jumbo and getting right to the heart of the proof.

Geometry Workbook For Dummies ensures that practice makes perfect, especially when problems are presented without the stiff, formal style that you’d find in your math textbook. Written with a commonsense, street-smart approach, this guide gives you the step-by-step process to solve each proof, along with tips, shortcuts, and mnemonic devices to make sure the solutions stick. It also gives you plenty of room to work out your solutions, providing you with space to breathe and a clear head. This book provides you with the tools you need to solve all types of geometry problems, including:

Congruent triangles
Finding the area, angle, and size of quadrilaterals
Angle-arc theorems and formulas
Touching radii and tangents
Connecting radii and chords
Parallel, perpendicular, and intersecting lines and planes
Slope, distance, and midpoint formulas
Line and circle equations
Handling rotations, reflections, and other transformations

Packed with tons of strategies for solving proofs and a review of key concepts, Geometry Workbook For Dummies is the ultimate study aid for students, parents, and anyone with an interest in the field.
