Drawing and Visualizing Problems

See It to Solve It

Drawing diagrams is one of the best strategies in geometry. By sketching shapes, labeling sides and angles, and marking known information, you make complex problems much easier to understand and solve.

Benefits of Drawing

  • Clarifies the given information
  • Reveals relationships between shapes
  • Helps avoid mistakes

Get in the habit of creating quick, neat sketches whenever you start a geometry problem!

Examples

  • Sketching a triangle and labeling sides to find missing angles.

  • Drawing a circle and marking the radius and diameter before calculating area.
