"A new, fun, visual way to improve your geometry skills; master key geometry concepts, theories and formulas with valuable tips, fun exercises, and humorous illustrations; achieve the geometry skills you need for success on the SAT, ACT, and GED math test."--Cover. |
| Summary |
If you ever thought geometry was impossible, you're not alone. But geometry doesn't have to be difficult; in fact, it can be easy if you understand the fundamentals. This guide will help you master the most commonly tested geometry concepts. To underscore the geometry lessons, Egghead uses real-life, easy-to-understand examples-- with fun explanations! If you are a visual learner, this book is for you! Includes examples and practice problems with solutions. |
