Why not buy math instructional videos or dvds?
You can go to:
mathmadeeasy.com
or
standarddeviants.com
to purchase excellent geometry videos and/or dvds.
If you live in NYC and your step daughter changes her mind, I am a private high school math tutor and can help her with geometry for only $20 per hour. However, if she needs further ONLINE FREE math help, you can send her questions to:
freemathhelp.com.
I hope this helps.

Let her flunk.
I know it'll ruin this semester in geometry but by next semester she'll understand how it was so important to accept help when she needs it.
Or take away her tv, computer, internet, days out w/ friends or whatever... do it yourself or have her biological parents do it... whoever she is more obedient to, kinda like a pre-punishment for failing and also as a way to get her more focused on her school work even if for just a while to get her to get a passing grade... "if you refuse to accept help and/OR work harder [which might involve accepting a tutor] to get a better grade, then i shall also refuse to provide you with this unnecessary commodities that you've taken for granted; that is until we reach a compromise where you raise your grades either by studying harder/longer and/or getting some help"
also, maybe she'll accept help from friends? a friend that is doing better in class than her? maybe you can pay the friend for tutoring your step-daughter... or how about a study group? encourage her to form a study group or to bring other classmates to your house and you lead the study group, that way you know they're studying/learning their material but it won't be so boring/tedious for everyone and it won't seem like you're lecturing to her...

Perimeter for a sq. is discovered by potential of including all aspects. 9+9+9+9 = 36m section for a sq. is discovered by potential of multiplying one section by potential of an adjoining section. 9•9 = 81m² or you're able to try this: 9² = 81m²

She could stay after school and get extra help from her teacher. But, you know what, if she refuses any type of help, how can you help her?

Who's the boss here, you and her mom, or the kid? What do you mean she won't accept such help? Make her accept it, dad! She's the kid, you're the parent!
