read moreOverview: Polygons are geometric figures that are made up of line segments. Many of them, such as triangles, squares, and rectangles, are familiar shapes. Others, such as heptagons (7…
read moreOverview: The number pi (π) is one of the most important and useful numbers in math calculations involving circles, spheres, and other circular objects. It is an irrational number with…
read moreOverview: Triangles have many different properties. For example, the sum of all three angles is always equal to 180o. The area of a triangle is equal to 1/2 times the…
read moreOverview: The Pythagorean theorem, involving the relationships between the sides of a right triangle, is one of the most famous geometry theorems. Many proofs have been generated to show the…
read moreOverview: Area and perimeter are two important measurements of a geometric figure. The area is the number of units enclosed within its surface, and the measurement of the distance around…
read moreOverview: What Are Reflecting Points? Reflecting points and images in geometry are a special type of transformation. Every point in the preimage corresponds exactly to every point in the reflected…
read moreOverview: Mathematical Language Conditional statements, also called “if-then” statements are important in logic and mathematics. They state the antecedent as well as the consequent. The conditions are defined precisely in…
read moreOverview: Lines and Angles Lines in geometry exist in relationships to one another by the angles they form when they intersect. Those lines that do not intersect at all are…
