To begin your studies in geometry, you must first review some of the basic vocabulary used throughout geometry. This will include angles and lines, perpendicular lines, and parallel lines. You will review what these terms mean, how to use them, and some properties of them.--Publisher.

"Shape reveals the geometry underneath some of the most important scientific, political, and philosophical problems we face. Geometry asks: Where are things? Which things are near each other? How can you get from one thing to another thing? Those are important questions. Geometry doesn't just measure the world-it explains it. Shape shows us how"--

You will learn some theorems about circles, including theorems about radii.--Publisher.

You will learn how to use the slope criteria to determine if lines are perpendicular or parallel.--Publisher.
