What is geometry?
Geometry plays a significant role in the design and planning of buildings, as well as during the building process itself. Buildings and structures are created in various geometric forms for aesthetic reasons as well to ensure adequate ventilation within the home. Construction work, astronomy, measurements, drawing, and other geometrical activities all employ Geometry tools such as the protractor
Different forms are created by putting different geometric components together. Before they start developing plans for various buildings, engineers, architects, and builders use geometry to calculate area and volume.
Why is geometry important in everyday life?
Geometry is one of the classical disciplines of maths. In Greek, it is roughly translated as Earth Measurement and is concerned with the properties of figures and space.
