Product Description:
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.

Average Rating : 
Rating : - Better than a teacher.
I'm a high school freshman-going-on-sophomore and I bought this to help prep myself for a get-ahead summer course I'm taking. So far, I've learned faster and better than I have with any of my previous math teachers.
Essentially a learning-by-example book, the description of new theories and postulates can be sketchy at first, but the multitudes of examples help to cement the ideas, and end of chapter tests ensure you don't forget.
If I had any gripes, they would be about the elusive problem 20, which I was instructed by the book to refer to a few times. Also annoying was the fact that the answers to the problems were often on the same page, making it hard to answer of your own skill, due to a wandering eye. Other than those minor issues, however, this book was a lifesaver.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for prep, review, or even to help you pass a class if ever you're stuck with a truly horrible teacher.
