Strategies for Geometry Word Problems

  • Read carefully to understand what is being asked.
  • Draw a picture or diagram to visualize the problem.
  • Identify known and unknowns—label them!
  • Translate words into equations when possible.
  • Double-check units and calculations for accuracy.

Taking your time with word problems makes them much easier to solve—and even fun!

Examples

  • Sketch a river and use trigonometry to find its width.

  • Break a complex shape into smaller polygons to calculate its area.
