Sure, Romeo and Juliet were a great pair, but they don't hold a candle to linear pairs. Find out more by clicking play.

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.

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...

Haven't you always wondered how much cardboard it takes to encase a trunk warmer for your pet elephant?

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...

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...

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.

Who knew triangles had midsegments? We did.

Talk about math being applicable to real life.

ACT Math: Coordinate Geometry Drill 2, Problem 2. Which expression is depicted by the number line?

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...

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...

Prove it, Shmoopers. We dare you.

To prove lines are parallel, you need a third line. We at Shmoop (and the rest of the world) call it a transversal.

Want to figure out the area and perimeter of irregular shapes? Break them down into regular shapes. For example, a flower can be broken down into s...

Rhombi are a girl's best friend. Or so we've heard, anyway.

Rectangles just love to have perimeters. And we just love to measure them.

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....

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...
