You may wish to make these self-explanatory solutions available to students who want to check their work, need help with the initial steps of a solution, or wish to compare their problem-solving approaches with other possible approaches. To the Student This Solutions Manual is designed to provide you with answers to questions you may have about the problems in your geometry textbook and to enable ‘you to spot errors in your work. You can use it for a variety of purposes: ‘To check your solutions to problems, including the steps by which the answers were reached To help you get started if your approaches to a problem or proof do not seem to be working ‘To familiarize yourself with techniques used in solving various types of problems ‘To compare your methods of solving problems with other possible methods ‘To review concepts that you have studied previously ‘To supplement the explanations of your teacher ‘To verify your answers to make-up assignments, extra practice, and independent work It is important, however, that you use this manual as a learning tool, not as @ substitute for the effort and thought that you should be devoting to the study of geometry. Used constructively, it can help you make your school year a more productive one. ‘To the Downloader Geometry for Enjoyment and Challenge is not just one of the best Geometry textbooks ever written, itis also one of the best Mathematics textbocks ever written, This is deomnstrated by the fact that it was originally written in the late 80's/early 90's, and yet is stil widely used by Geometry teachers nationwide. However, the text has one fatal flaw it contains no solutions to any of the problems that require proofs or hand drawn diagrams. This makes leaming proofs very difficult for students, This is worsened even more by the fact that solutions to the book's. proof problems are hard to find. There is this complete solutions manual fortunately, but tragically there are not that many copies of this manual left. Hence, any copy you can find on the internet ranges in price from $200 to $500. This is absolutely unacceptable. Half of these solutions should have been made available tothe student upon purchasing the actual text. And so, in an effort to correct the mistakes of the authors of the text, |, at the risk of being sued for copyright infringment, present you, downloader, this complete solutions manual free of charge. May it aid you in your studies of the wonders of geometry, Please follow the suggestions made in the "To the Student” section as best as you can (don't just copy answers, actualy try the problems frst then check and correct as needed).
