Advanced Topics
Advanced Geometry
Navigating Complex Shapes and Their Properties
Geometry on the GRE tests your understanding of shapes, sizes, and the relationships between different figures.
What You'll Encounter
- Properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, and circles
- Perimeter, area, and volume calculations
- Angles, similarity, and congruence
Real-World Context
Geometry is used in architecture, interior design, and even sports field planning!
Tips for Success
- Memorize key formulas (area, perimeter, volume)
- Draw diagrams for visualization
- Watch out for hidden right triangles or symmetry
Formula
The area of a circle: \( A = \pi r^2 \)
Key Formula
\[A = \pi r^2\]
Examples
Find the area of a triangle with base 10 and height 6.
Calculate the volume of a cylinder with radius 3 and height 7.
