Introducting Geometry

The video provides an overview of SAT geometry, emphasizing that it is simpler than school geometry. It covers basic concepts like angles, triangles, and special right triangles, offering strategies for solving problems efficiently. Key points include understanding that SAT drawings are to scale unless noted, and recognizing special triangles to save time. The video also highlights the importance of using provided formulas and offers problem-solving tips.

What is the significance of diagrams being drawn to scale on the SAT?

• They are not reliable for solving problems.

• They can be used to estimate measurements.
