Geometry is the study of angles, triangles, perimeter, area and volume. It has applications in fields like building, navigation, surveying and astronomy. Geometry has a long history dating back to ancient societies in Greece and other cultures. It continues to be vital in fields like architecture, art and engineering today.

2. • Geometry is used all around us in several real-life situation
•We can find it simply by looking around at the various
structures in our schools
•Putting geometry into this real-life perspective will help
students relate on a more personal level, and further
understand various principles

3. •The word geometry comes from two Greek words – geos and metron,
meaning earth and measure respectively
•It is the study of angles, triangles, perimeter, area and volume
•The use of geometry was vital for ancient societies and was used for a variety
of reasons, including building, navigation, surveying and astronomy
•Euclid, along with other mathematicians and philosophers, wrote Euclidean
geometry over 2000 years ago and this text is still being used today
