Geometry Toolkit
Explore shapes, measurements, formulas, and practice problems.
Working with π: Use π ≈ 3.14 if the question says so; otherwise leave answers in terms of π if the choices include π.

Common Geometry Mistakes & Helpful Shortcuts
Keep these reminders in mind when solving geometry problems.
Slant Height vs. True Height
For area, use the height at a right angle to the base, not the slanted side.
Units and Dimensions
Perimeter uses units, area uses square units, and volume uses cubic units.
Internal Walls in Fencing Problems
Count only the sides that need a fence. Include inside dividers only when they need one too.
