Angles Videos 25 videos
This video explains the vertical angle theorem. Learn about supplementary angles, adjacent angles, and linear pairs, plus bungee jumping. Intersect...
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.
Area and Volume Videos 38 videos
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...

Circles Videos 25 videos
This video can run circles around other videos about circles. Sir Cumference, of Round Table fame, explains all the properties of… well, circles....
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."
Equations of circles are a no-brainer. If aliens can do it, so can you. All you do is substitute the center of the circle's coordinates into the eq...

No hard hat needed here–we're talking about mathematical constructions. If you're using a straight edge, a compass, and a pencil, you're working...
ACT Math: Plane Geometry Drill 5, Problem 3. What is the measure of Angle GHJ?
To prove lines are parallel, you need a third line. We at Shmoop (and the rest of the world) call it a transversal.
Coordinate Geometry Videos 38 videos
ACT Math: Coordinate Geometry Drill 2, Problem 2. Which expression is depicted by the number line?
One formula to rule them all, one formula to find them. One formula to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them. Or something like that. I...
Logic and Proofs Videos 13 videos
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.
A sequel to the 1989 classic Segments, Lines, and Videotape, this video will change the way you think about lines, segments, and rays. Unless yo...
Polygons Videos 24 videos
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...

Right Triangles and Trigonometry Videos 37 videos
Verifying trig identities is important, especially when you're about to let one of them into the country—which is why they should keep their pass...
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....
