Geometry (CliffsStudySolver)

I used this book to prepare for a ACT Compass Geometry test, to fulfill a graduation requirement. I am a 28 yr old returning student, and I'd been away from math in general for about 10 years. This was a great book for learning and reviewing the geometry concepts. I went through it quickly, in about 3-4 weeks. I just took the compass test and scored a 99 out of 100! Very nice. My one complaint is that there are a few random editing errors in the book. This definitely caused me some confusion as to why my answer was off, or how to do a problem. I've read the same complaint for other math books in their series. I am onto Algebra I next. Hopefully, I will be as succesful with that book as this one. Overall, a very good book.

The CliffsStudySolver workbooks combine 20 percent review material with 80 percent practice problems (and the answers!) to help make your lessons stick.

CliffsStudySolver Geometry is for students who want to reinforce their knowledge with a learn-by-doing approach. Inside, you’ll get the practice you need to learn Geometry with problem-solving tools such as

• Clear, concise reviews of every topic
• Practice problems in every chapter — with explanations and solutions
• A diagnostic pretest to assess your current skills
• A full-length exam that adapts to your skill level

Example problems, work problems, worked solutions, and an appendix of postulates and theorems help you get the practice you need to learn Geometry. In this book, you'll explore many aspects of Geometry, including the following:

• Basic concepts: Points, lines, planes, line segments, midpoints, and rays
• Angles and angle pairs, and parallel lines
• Measuring angle sums
• Triangles, polygons, and circles
• Determining perimeter and area, and ratio and proportion
• Solid figures and measurement
• Coordinate geometry

Practice makes perfect —and whether you're taking lessons or teaching yourself, CliffsStudySolver guides can help you make the grade.

Author David Alan Herzog has written more than 100 books and education software programs concerned with test preparation in mathematics and science. He taught math education at Fairleigh Dickinson University, was a mathematics coordinator for New Jersey's Rockaway Township Public Schools, and taught in the New York City public schools.

Explores many aspects of Geometry. This title covers the following topics of the subject: basic concepts such as points, lines, planes, line segments, midpoints, and rays; angles and angle pairs, and parallel lines; measuring angle sums; triangles, polygons, and circles; and, determining perimeter and area, and ratio and proportion. Provides a pre-test to determine areas requiring work, and brief summaries, solved problems, and sample problems with answers for plane, solid, and coordinate geometry. A point is the simplest and yet most important building block in geometry. A review of geometry that includes numerous exercises and examples
