Whether wallpapering a footlocker or filling a cylinder with corncobs, a knowledge of three-dimensional shapes is essential. This program demystifies the subjects of surface area and volume by sharing solid information backed up by the surface area formulas for right cylinders and spheres and the volume formulas for right prisms, cylinders, and spheres.

		Area and Volume This video describes how to calculate the area of rectangles and other shapes-both geometrical and irregular-and how to determine the volume of a rectangular solid. Dramatized segments and computer animations focus on calculating lawn dimensions at a...(more details)
		Measurement This video describes how to estimate costs of products and services, determine the circumference of an object and its effect on motion, and calculate area and volume. Dramatized segments and computer animations illustrate ways to use measurements tak...(more details)
		Units, Perimeter, Circumference, and Area When it comes to measuring flat shapes, geometry generously provides a formula for every occasion. This program begins with an overview of how to convert English and metric units of measurement. Next, finding the perimeter of polygons is illustrated,...(more details)
		Geometry Basics This program presents the building blocks that every student of geometry needs to understand. Topics addressed include inductive and deductive reasoning; terminology such as points, lines, planes, and space; six core postulates; five essential theore...(more details)
		Similar Triangles If Pam and a telephone pole are each casting a shadow, how can the height of the pole be determined indirectly? This program keeps the subject of similar triangles in proportion as it describes the Angle-Angle Similarity Postulate and the Side-Angle-...(more details)
