Discusses the properties and types of triangles, explaining that a triangle is a closed figure with three sides and angles. It categorizes triangles into equilateral, isosceles, scalene, obtuse, right ...

In our mind’s eye, the universe seems to go on forever. But using geometry we can explore a variety of three-dimensional shapes that offer alternatives to “ordinary” infinite space. When you gaze out ...

Proving that two polygons have the same area can be as easy as cutting them up and rearranging the pieces. Gina the geometry student stayed up too late last night doing her homework while watching The ...

Counting will get you nowhere. Try a little combinatorics instead. By Kenneth Chang A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about a viral math problem — 8÷2(2+2) = ? — that drew the disdain of many ...

Polygons are multi-sided shapes with different properties. Shapes have symmetrical properties and some can tessellate. Loci and constructions - Edexcel Loci are a set of points with the same property.

Mathematicians have resolved the first one trillion cases of an ancient mathematics problem. The advance was made possible by a clever new computational technique for multiplying large numbers. The ...
