Overview
Planar Geometry is all about shapes on a flat surface. This online micro-credential will introduce you to plotting geometric functions on a plane. You will learn how to find lengths, angles, areas and volumes of various shapes and use co-ordinate geometry to devise and use equations of various conic sections to determine properties of the graphs of the sections.
Mathematics is used to solve many types of problems. This online micro-credential will introduce you to plotting geometric functions on a plane.
