Description of  The Only Elementary Geometry Book You'll Ever Need: Area and Perimeter

Shapes are the first things we notice as infants when we are introduced to practical mathematics, shapes are the first things we play with. We count them we try to identify the differences between common shape types when we learn more, we use the Area concept to quantify the sizes of shapes. The elementary concept of Area becomes much more useful later, both in applied mathematics, mensuration and geometry, and in high school topics like integral calculus, where we find the area under a curve. Similarly, the length of the boundary of a shape, or the Perimeter or Circumference, are important concepts. At more advanced levels the Perimeter is used in the Distance Formula and in the length of a curve between two points (which also uses calculus, like the area under a curve). This book contains every formula that a high school student or someone looking to brush up on geometry and mensuration concepts will need.
