Geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the measurement, properties, and relationships of various shapes and configurations. We use geometry in various fields including construction, architecture, recreational activities, athletics, and design. It is integral to become familiar with shapes, points on a graph, measurement of angles, and classification of lines to use geometry successful.
Major geometric concepts include:
-
Solving for area and volume – finding the quantity/amount of space inside two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and solid figures.
-
Geometric forms and shapes – classifying and defining 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional figures.
-
Geometric proofs – assigning mathematical theories and rules to determine the accuracy of a problem, statement, or fact.
-
Types and measurements of angles and lines – measuring and classifying different angles and lines in various figures.
Geometry covers a wide range of mathematical skill
s. Through geometry, you build a mathematical vocabulary and learn to apply new ideas to seemingly complex problems.
