I just watched my Geometry Teacher try to explain this over a zoom. His digital writing was so bad I had to look this up and watch it. This is so much better! I subbed?

[Ethan-dtrn]

Thanks just saved my grade on my geometry test that I’m supposed to be taking rn but instead I’m in the bathroom watching this

[andrehill]

Trying to learn Honors geometry while my teachers camera is lagging and I'm at home is so frustration but this guy got me a 100% on my test so thanks.

hello, if I know the volume of both solid but want to find one unknow side, how do I solve, or how do I do reverse power 3

[baileyfox]

thank u my math teacher sucks and this really helped

[keiramann]

Thank you!! Your walkthroughs are incredibly helpful.

[masez]

Thank you so much for helping out and prepping me for geometry test

[avakhanal]

At 2:00 marking, why do you divide both sides by 64?

[mollyy]

Thank you SO MUCH! This was so easy to follow and helped me!!

[JunieBug]

Wow, I admire that you take the time to go through and reply to each comment! Thanks for the video! :)

A second comment. This is so crazy helpful. The table at the end was such an effective exit ticket. Thanks!

[jessicalutthans]

This video lesson is nice and straightforward and clear, which many of all levels will appreciate! Thanks!

My only concern (and this is getting QUITE picky) is that you have expressions connected by = that are not =. I get that you are following a train of thought, but this would be the same as writing 5 + 15 = 20 * 4 = 80 / 8 = 10.
5 + 15 is equal to 20, but 5 + 15 is not equal to 20 * 4.
5 + 15 is not equal to 80/8.
5 + 15 is not equal to 10.

Hi Sir, can you solve this: For a given solid, the surface area increases by 25%.
1. Find the percentage change in diameter.
2. Percentage change in volume.

Thank you sir. I am one of your subscriber sir!

[vanessacampbell]

bro thanks so much i made a 100 on my test

[Shrimple]

Okay but what if i have both height and sa?

[sheharyaradnan]
