A cylinder is a three-dimensional shape with a circular base and straight sides that are parallel to each other. The angles formed by the sides of a polygon inside the shape are known as interior angles. The sum of the interior angles depends on the number of sides (n) in the polygon and can be calculated using the formula: (n - 2) × 180°. For instance, in triangles and quadrilaterals:

This is a difficult book to rate, but is in the 3-4 range for me. The issue is that of the difficulty of the material itself. I don't believe the book makes claims of being accessible to non-mathematicians, and it certainly reads well in a general sense, but the material covers so many aspects of geometry that it is very difficult to stay with it. Ellenberg's other book that I have read, How Not To Be Wrong, is much more accessible overall. A hemisphereis half of a sphere, formed by cutting a sphere along a flat plane. It has a curved surface, and its base is a circle. Cylinders and Cones If my grandma had wheels, she'd be a wagon" -- comparing this to the hypothetical incorrect statistical practice of "if we only consider xyz then we find abc"A circle is a closed shape with a constant distance (radius) from its center to any point on its circumference. Circles have unique properties: One of the longest parts, too long for my taste, was about gerrymandering. The key question is can you prove that districts were created specifically to give a certain party the advantage? The simple fact that percent of representatives chosen is not proportional to the number of members of each party is not enough to prove it. For example, Massachusetts has some percentage of Republicans, but no Republican wins seats, and that is not Gerrymandering. People of all parties are randomly spread-out in Massachusetts, so that is just the way things turn out. But Wisconsin is a different story. Anyone who looks hard at that state can see that it was obviously rigged. And the people who rigged it pretty much admit that is what they did. But, still, can you prove it?

Irregular shapes are geometric figures that do not have equal side lengths or equal angles. Some common irregular shapes include: What really carried this book for me was the author's ability to explain things clearly and enthusiastically, often with diagrams and concrete examples. The book is quite accessible. It starts off with the author talking about how he thinks geometry should be taught. He also mentions that he initially wasn't good at geometry. It's clear that he wants to students to have fun and understand things, not just memorize them. As someone who's essentially going to be his student reading this book, that was nice to hear. In polygons, the number of sides is equal to the number of vertices (corners) and the sum of the interior angles can be calculated by the formula (n-2) *180, where n is the number of sides.Serious mathematics at its intriguing, transporting best . . . [a] humorous, anecdotally rich dive into numerous mathematical theories.” —Kirkus Globe: A globe is an example of a spherical object that represents the Earth. It is used for geographical and educational purposes, providing a detailed representation of our planet’s surface.

Square: A special case of both a rectangle and a rhombus, where all sides have equal length and all internal angles are 90 degrees. This creative shape book finds shapes throughout a little girl’s neighborhood by pointing out the circles that make up rice bowls and the dim sum that is in the shape of squares.Rectangle:A rectangle is a shape with four sides, made up of two sets of parallel lines, with four right angles (90 degree angles; picture a capital L). It doesn’t matter whether the sets of sides are the same length. Picture a plain piece of printing paper. This is a rectangle, with one set of sides (generally the top and bottom) shorter than the other set of sides (generally the left and right). Triangles are polygonal shapes with three sides and three angles. They can be classified into several types based on side lengths and angles: People often complain that no one likes facts and numbers and reason and science anymore, but as someone who talks about those things in public, I can tell you that’s not true. People love numbers, and are impressed by them, sometimes more than they should be. An argument dressed up in math carries with it a certain authority. If you’re the one who outfitted it that way, you have a special responsibility to get it right.
