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.

Don't try this at home, Shmoopers.

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?

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."

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...

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...
