Khan Academy - a vast collection of YouTube video clips to illustrate many geometric matters.

Math Open Reference - what it says; this is the geometry page.

Purple Math - algebra review for all levels.

 

Euclid

The Elements - an outstanding site that has the complete text with interactive diagrams and full supporting notes.

Byrne - an interesting presentation of Euclid soley in terms of colored shapes (if words and concepts are too abstract for you).

Art - a Dartmouth college course page about geometry in art and architecture. Well illustrated.
