An all-new angle to learning geometry!

Updated with all-new quizzes and test questions, and a completely refreshed design, Geometry Demystified, Second Edition makes it easy to learn or recall basic geometry. You can use the book as a supplemental classroom text or as a self-contained course without an instructor. Worked-out problems and solutions with practical themes are included.

The book contains 11 chapters in two parts. Each chapter ends with a multiple-choice quiz. Each part ends with a multiple-choice test. A comprehensive multiple-choice final exam concludes the course. This hands-on guide helps you to: understand angle measurement and expression; grasp the relationships between angles and distances; calculate perimeters, areas, and volumes; read maps and charts; use coordinate systems in two and three dimensions; construct geometric figures with a compass and straight edge; learn the fundamentals of vectors; improve spatial perception; envision space of more than three dimensions.

Geometry Demystified, Second Edition features:

• Chapter-opening objectives offering insight into what you’re going to learn in each step
• Questions at the end of every chapter to reinforce learning and pinpoint weaknesses
• “Still Struggling?” icon providing specific recommendations for those having difficulty with certain subtopics
• A final exam for overall self-assessment
