ePub A History of Modern Africa: 1800 to the Present by Richard J. Reid in History

Description

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.
