GED Math: “Hidden” Shapes in GED Questions

Part of the problem with GED math is that sometimes you really don’t know what they’re asking. How do you figure it out? Rick had a problem with a GED question, “Determining the height of a sky scraper by the time of day, direction of the sun, and the measurement of it’s shadow??? WTF!” Curtis gives you some hints on what to look for in GED questions like this.

Do you have any questions? Do you need more explanations? Are you having trouble with a specific math question, or an area of math? Be sure to contact Curtis to ask for math help.
