    Geometry Uses

    • 297 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Geometry has many uses. It is used whenever we ask questions about the size‚ shape‚ volume‚ or position of an object Geometry is the foundation of physical mathematics present around us. A room‚ a car‚ anything with physical constraints is geometrically formed. Geometry allows us to accurately calculate physical spaces and we can apply this to the convenience of mankind. . The geometry is heavily used in drawings‚ carpeting‚ sewing‚ architecture‚ art‚ mathematics‚ measurements‚ sculptures etc.

In other words‚ geometry is a type of math used to measure things that are impossible to measure with devices. For example‚ no one has been able take a tape measure around the earth‚ yet we are pretty confident

    Geometry Conjectures Chapter 2 C1- Linear Pair Conjecture - If two angles form a linear pair‚ then the measures of the angles add up to 180°. C2- Vertical Angles Conjecture - If two angles are vertical angles‚ then they are congruent (have equal measures). C3a- Corresponding Angles Conjecture- If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal‚ then corresponding angles are congruent. C3b- Alternate Interior Angles Conjecture- If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal‚ then alternate interior

    Deduction in Geometry

    • 602 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Many results in geometry can be shown or demonstrated by construction and measurement. For example‚ we can draw a triangle and measure the angles to show or demonstrate that the angle sum of a triangle is 180 ° . However this does not prove that the angle sum of any triangle is 180 ° . To prove this and other geometrical results we use a process called deduction ‚ in which a specific result is proved by reasoning logically from a general principle or known fact. When setting out proofs

    Non-Euclidean Geometry

    • 593 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Non-Euclidean geometry is any form of geometry that is based on axioms‚ or postulates‚ different from those of Euclidean geometry. These geometries were developed by mathematicians to find a way to prove Euclid’s fifth postulate as a theorem using his other four postulates. They were not accepted until around the nineteenth century. These geometries are based on a curved plane‚ whether it is elliptic or hyperbolic. There are no parallel lines in non-Euclidean geometry‚ and the angles of triangles

    Geometry (Ancient Greek: γεωμετρία; geo- "earth"‚ -metron "measurement") is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape‚ size‚ relative position of figures‚ and the properties of space. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a geometer. Geometry arose independently in a number of early cultures as a body of practical knowledge concerning lengths‚ areas‚ and volumes‚ with elements of a formal mathematical science emerging in the West as early as Thales (6th Century

    Geometry in everyday life Geometry was thoroughly organized in about 300bc‚ when the Greek mathematician‚ Euclid gathered what was known at the time; added original work of his own and arranged 465 propositions into 13 books‚ called Elements. Geometry was recognized to be not just for mathematicians. Anyone can benefit from the basic learning of geometry‚ which is to follow the lines reasoning. Geometry is one of the oldest sciences and is concerned with questions of shape‚ size and relative

    before him. Not only was Euclid a mathematician and a scientist‚ he was an author as well. Euclid’s most well-known writing was a series of books called “The Elements”. The Elements were on subjects like circles‚ irrational numbers‚ 3D geometry‚ plane geometry and number theory. The Elements consist of five postulates and definitions. These books explained simple theories to detailed explanations of what a line is. Although he did not discover most of these he was the first to publish a series
