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. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGeometry Workbook For Dummies\u003c\/i\u003e 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: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCongruent triangles\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFinding the area, angle, and size of quadrilaterals\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAngle-arc theorems and formulas\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTouching radii and tangents\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConnecting radii and chords\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eParallel, perpendicular, and intersecting lines and planes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSlope, distance, and midpoint formulas\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLine and circle equations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHandling rotations, reflections, and other transformations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003ePacked with tons of strategies for solving proofs and a review of key concepts, \u003ci\u003eGeometry Workbook For Dummies\u003c\/i\u003e is the ultimate study aid for students, parents, and anyone with an interest in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Ryan\u003c\/b\u003e, a graduate of Brown University and the University of Wisconsin Law School, has been teaching math since 1989. He runs the Math Center in Winnetka, Illinois (www.themathcenter.com), where he teaches high school math courses including an introduction to geometry and a workshop for parents based on a program he developed, \u003ci\u003eThe 10 Habits of Highly Successful Math Students.\u003c\/i\u003e In high school, he twice scored a perfect 800 on the math portion of the SAT, and he not only knows mathematics, he has a gift for explaining it in plain English. He practiced law for four years before deciding he should do something he enjoys and use his natural talent for mathematics.
