In this module, you'll learn all of the concepts, techniques and strategies needed to answer geometry questions on the GMAT. In particular, this module covers:

  • Lines and angles
  • Isosceles and equilateral triangles
  • Right triangles
  • Special triangles
  • Similar triangles
  • Quadrilaterals
  • Circles: area & circumference
  • Circles: sectors & arcs
  • Circles: inscribed angles
  • Circles: tangent lines
  • Cylinders
  • Surface area & volume

Two ways to prepare

Beneath each video lesson in this module, we have a Related Resource box with practice questions that test the concepts covered in the video. With this lesson format, you have two learning options:

  • Watch the video lesson first and then reinforce your learning by answering several related questions, or…
  • Tackle the practice questions first and watch the lesson only if you need help with the concepts the practice questions test
