Synopsis

Master plane geometry with a clear, step‑by‑step approach that builds both understanding and accuracy.

This nontechnical guide presents geometrical essentials, from basic lines and angles to circles, areas, and proofs. Rich with plainly explained concepts, it emphasizes hands‑on practice through illustrated constructions, carefully structured exercises, and practical work with common drawing tools. The edition combines inductive reasoning with deductive methods, helping readers see how ideas connect and how to verify results by measurement and construction.

  • Learning focus on geometry basics, including shapes, angles, circles, and area relationships.
  • Guided instructions for drawing and constructing figures with rulers, compasses, protractors, and set squares.
  • Progressive exercises that reinforce concepts through real‑world measurements and careful testing.
  • Clear explanations of symmetry, tangents, and other circle properties, plus practical test constructions.

Ideal for students beginning geometry or revisiting fundamentals, and a useful companion for instructors seeking structured, visual exercises.


Elements of the edition include illustrated chapters, step‑by‑step constructions, and a wide set of exercises that build fluency and confidence.
