Study guides
Geometry study guides
Seven guides in the order most geometry classes teach them. Each one starts with a short, plain answer, then works through examples step by step, lists the mistakes that cost points, and ends with five practice questions with explained answers. Every worked example and practice answer on these pages is checked by code.

- 1Angles, parallel lines and polygon angle sumsCorresponding, alternate interior and same-side angles, triangle angle sums, exterior angles and polygon angle sums. Worked examples and 5 practice questions.
- 2Triangle congruence: SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS and HLHow to prove triangles congruent with SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS and HL, why SSA fails, what CPCTC means, and a two-column proof. Worked examples and practice.
