GEOMETRY
WHAT IS
GEOMETRY
Geometry is a branch of
mathematics concerned with
properties of space such as
the distance, space and size
and relative position of
figures.
Geo means “Earth” metria
means “measure”
PURPOSE
Provides many fundamental
skills
Helps to build the thinking
skill of logic
Deductive and analytical
reasoning
Euclid (325 bc -
ORIGINS 265 bc)
Historical Development:
Originated in ancient
civilisations such as Egypt,
Babylon, and Greece.
Notable contributions from
mathematicians like Euclid
and Pythagoras.
Key Work: Euclid’s
“Elements” laid the
foundation for modern
geometry.
USE OF GEOMETRY
THEN AND NOW
Practical Applications: Used
in architecture, engineering,
astronomy, and cartography.
Scientific Advancements:
Influenced the development
of calculus, physics, and
computer science.
Provided a framework for
understanding spatial
relationships.

CONCLUSION
Geometry is more than just a
school subject; it's a vital tool
fostering critical thinking,
problem-solving, and practical
skills. It helps us understand
the world's shapes, aids in
engineering and architecture,
and prepares us for success.
Embracing geometry unlocks
creativity, logic, and
precision, empowering
individuals to navigate life's
complexities with confidence.
