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.
Area and Volume Videos 38 videos
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...

ACT Math: Plane Geometry Drill 2, Problem 4. What is the surface area of a sphere with radius = 6?
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
In geometry, points are called collinear if they all lie on the same line. What, no bunk beds?
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...
Formal proofs present the oh-so-mathematical evidence in two columns: one for the statement they are claiming is true, and the other for the reason...
Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Videos 23 videos
To prove lines are parallel, you need a third line. We at Shmoop (and the rest of the world) call it a transversal.

Rectangles just love to have perimeters. And we just love to measure them.
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....
Transformations Videos 4 videos
If you were looking for the trailer for the new Michael Bay movie, you've got the wrong number. Transformations are rotations, reflections, and tra...
Translations: now without the trans fat. Functions: now without the…fun? Wait, scratch that. Now with extra fun! Don’t believe us? There's only...
