• Are You Kidding??
22 November, 2008
18 pages in, and I find an egregious error:
Page 18:
Example: Find the area of a circle if the angle between the two radii forming the sector is 80 degrees and the diameter of the circle is 4.5 inches.
1. Find the area of the circle.
The area of the whole circle is A=(pi)r² = (pi) · (4.5)² = 3.14 · 20.25 = 63.585, or about 63½ square inches.
Now, either this is poor math (by not converting the diameter into radius), or poor editing (by meaning radius as opposed to diameter). Whichever it is, it doesn't instill a lot of confidence in the book.

This a very good learning tool for someone who doesn't know a thing about trigonometery. I am glad to find such a product that is like having a tutor around 24 hours a day. Thank you, Lyle J. Christenson.
