This geometry and trigonometry module gets to the heart of that. For many, much of this will be a review of work you have done before with trigonometry, missing sides and missing angles, cirles and volume and surface area of 3d shapes. Where it might be new is with specific applications in and out of 3&nbsp;dimensions.
