SAT Math

A comprehensive course to master all the mathematical concepts, skills, and strategies needed to succeed on the SAT exam.

Advanced Topics

Geometry and Trigonometry

Shapes, Angles, and Measurement

Geometry and trigonometry questions test your understanding of shapes, angles, area, perimeter, and right triangle relationships.

Essential Topics

  • Triangles and Circles: Calculate areas, perimeters, and properties.
  • Pythagorean Theorem: \( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \) for right triangles.
  • Special Right Triangles: Know the 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 relationships.
  • Trigonometric Ratios: Sine, cosine, tangent for finding side lengths or angles.

Real-World Connections

Architecture, sports, and engineering all rely on geometry and trigonometry skills.

Pro Tips

  • Draw diagrams to visualize problems.
  • Memorize key formulas and ratios.

Examples

  • Find the area of a triangle with base 8 and height 5.

  • In a right triangle, if one leg is 6 and the hypotenuse is 10, find the other leg.

In a Nutshell

Solve problems involving shapes, angles, and trigonometric relationships.
