Geometry
Geometry - Definition with Examples What is Geometry? Geometry is a branch of mathematics that studies the sizes , shapes, positions angles and dimensions of things. Flat shapes like squares, circles, and triangles are a part of flat geometry and are called 2D shapes. These shapes have only 2 dimensions , the length and the width. Examples of 2D shapes in flat geometry Solid objects are also known as 3D objects having the third dimension of height or depth. Examples of 3D shapes in solid geometry Angle : The vertex of a shape where two edges meet form an angle. Different shapes in geometry have different angle measures. For example : A triangle is a 3 sided shape, and the measure of its 3 interior angles is 180˚ A square, rectangle or quadrilateral are 4 sided shapes, and the measure of their interior angles is 360˚ Other polygons like the pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon have 5, 6, 7, 8 sides re...
