Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with points, lines, shapes, and angles. SAT geometry questions will test your knowledge of the shapes, sizes, and volumes of different figures, as well as their positions in space.
25-30% of SAT Math problems will involve geometry, depending on the particular test.
Because geometry as a whole covers so many different mathematical concepts, there are several different subsections of geometry (including planar, solid, and coordinate). We will cover each branch of geometry in separate guides, complete with a step-by-step approach to questions and sample problems.
This article will be your comprehensive guide to solid geometry on the SAT. We’ll take you through the meaning of solid geometry, the formulas and understandings you’ll need to know, and how to tackle some of the most difficult solid geometry problems involving cubes, spheres, and cylinders on the SAT.
