Geometry Introduction

Geometry comes from the Greek meaning “Earth measurement”.    

Geometry is a branch of mathematics, and concerned with visual study of shapes, sizes, properties and patterns.   

A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a Geometer.   

Geometry can be divided into:  

1. Plane geometry

 

2. Solid geometry

1. Plane geometry 

In plane geometry we study about, flat shapes like lines, circles, triangles and polygons. Shapes that can be drawn on a piece of paper.   

2. Solid geometry

 In solid geometry we study about, three dimensional objects like cubes, prisms, cylinders and spheres.
