Geometry Basics for SAT Success

This video introduces the basics of geometry, focusing on coordinate axes, symbols, and shapes. It covers the definition and plotting of points on coordinate axes, explains various geometry symbols for lines, rays, and segments, and discusses angles and their measurements. The video also touches on different shapes like triangles and quadrilaterals, and explains the concepts of parallel and perpendicular lines.
