Breaking Problems into Steps

Take It One Step at a Time

When faced with a tricky geometry question, don't panic! Break the problem into smaller, easier parts. Look for what you know first—like the type of shape or given measurements—then solve each part, step by step. Drawing a quick sketch can help you see what to do next.

Examples

  • First find the length of one side, then use it to calculate the area.

  • Draw a diagram before solving for unknown angles.
