Angles Videos 25 videos
FYI: cats don't like to get wet. Okay, so that fact won't be relevant every time you solve trig equations, but it happens to be this time.
We inscribed some angles on the walls of our office, but our boss got mad, so we made this video instead.
Unlike anything that enters the Bermuda Triangle, Exterior angles can be found—in more than one way. This video covers how to use the remote inte...

Los cubos de hielo no son ruidosos generalmente...pero tienen un volumen de tipo diferente. Este video te enseñará cómo encontrar el volumen de...
Volume is crucial to our lives. It determines the amount of food we eat, the amount of fluid we drink, and hydraulics, just to to name a few. One o...
SAT Math 1.5 Geometry and Measurement. How many jars of paint will Sierra need?
Circles Videos 25 videos
Time to learn about the area of a sector. And no, that's not the sector's bedroom with a bumper sticker on the door that reads, "GO AWAY."
It's super useful to be able to find the distance around stuff. Like when you’re being pursued by authorities while running around the base of an...

If you already know what a conditional statement is, then you're smarter than you look. And boy do you look smart.
Indirect proofs (or proofs by contradiction) prove their conclusion by showing that the opposite cannot be true. You can use this in math and in ar...
Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Videos 23 videos
This video explores parallel lines and transversals: how to identify them both on a math test and in real life urban planning. What do the consecut...
To prove lines are parallel, you need a third line. We at Shmoop (and the rest of the world) call it a transversal.
SAT Math 2.1 Geometry and Measurement. What is the measure of angle z in terms of x and y?
Polygons Videos 24 videos
“Polygon” - it’s not just something we say when our pet parrot escapes through the kitchen window. Curious to find out what angle these guys...

Mosquitos need their caffeine, just like the rest of us. Wouldn't think zipping around and stinging people all day long sap your energy?
Sine is the opposite over the hypotenuse; cosine is the adjacent over the hypotenuse; and tangent is the opposite side over the adjacent side....
Shmoop saw the sine. Want to pull an Oliver Twist and ask us for more? We've gotcha covered. Head over to /video/math/ for more mathy goodness. No...
