For studying geometry alongside trigonometry, several recommended books include "Holt McDougal Geometry," authored by Burger, and a book by Jurgensen, Brown, and Jurgensen, both published by McDougal Littell. These texts are suitable for high school students and provide a solid foundation in geometry concepts. It is noted that finding good practice exercises can be challenging, so selecting a book with ample problems is advisable. An older geometry book with exercises is also mentioned, though it may focus more on construction methods. Overall, choosing a geometry book with practice problems is essential for effective learning.

Homework Statement



I am currently taking trig, I also want to study geometry on the side... I am currently reading a book called master geometry however it doesn't have any practive problems... are there any good geometry books that someone can recommend?
thank you.

Any high school Geometry book should be fine. Look for Holt Geometry (the publisher is Holt), or look for a book with the main author of Jurgensen listed with others.

I think Holt merged with McDougal Littell, so now it's Holt McDougal. The book title is now "Holt McDougal Geometry" and the main author is Burger.

Ah, that would be Jurgensen, Brown, and Jurgensen. This book is published by McDougal Littell, I mean Holt McDougal. They go together with the Algebra: Structure & Method books by Dolciani. We use the Geometry book at my school (though I myself never taught from it, as I am currently not teaching Geometry).
 


Here is an old book with a bunch of exercises. It is from before the time of computers so relies a little too much on constructing solutions but some of the exercises should be relevant. You could read through them and choose the ones you would like to solve, ones that match whatever you are learning in Mastering Geometry.

I suggest this because finding good exercises is difficult.

(Or just get another geometry book, one with exercises...)
