Article 1: What Is Geometry? When Do You Use It In The Real World?

Geometry is one of the classical isci!lines of math" #oughly translating in Gree$ as %Earth

Measurement%& it is concerne 'ith the !ro!erties of s!ace an figures" It is !rimarily

e(elo!e to )e a !ractical guie for measuring lengths& areas& an (olumes& an is still in

use u! to no'" Eucli turne the stuy of geometry into an a*iomatic form at aroun 3rcentury +,& an these a*ioms are still useful u! to the !resent ay" -n im!ortant e(olution

for the science of geometry 'as create 'hen #ene Descartes 'as a)le to create the

conce!t of analytical geometry" +ecause of it& !lane figures can no' )e re!resente

analytically& an is one of the ri(ing forces for the e(elo!ment of calculus" In aition& the

rise of !ers!ecti(e ga(e rise to !ro.ecti(e geometry" /o'aays& moern geometry has

strong ties 'ith !hysics& an is an integral !art of ne' !hysical conce!ts such as relati(ity

an string theories"

The most )asic form of geometry is so the so calle Eucliean geometry" Lengths& areas&

an (olumes are ealt here" ,ircumferences& raii& an areas are one of the conce!ts

concerning length an area" -lso& the (olume of 3 imensional o).ects such as cu)es&

cyliners& !yramis& an s!heres can )e com!ute using geometry" It use to )e all a)out

sha!es an measurements& )ut num)ers 'ill soon ma$e its 'ay to geometry" Than$s to the

0ythagoreans& num)ers are introuce in geometry in the form of numerical (alues of

lengths an areas" /um)ers are further utilie 'hen Descartes 'as a)le to formulate the

conce!t of coorinates"

In real life& geometry has a lot of !ractical uses& from the most )asic to the most a(ance

!henomena in life" E(en the (ery )asic concept of areacan )e a huge factor in ho' you o

your aily )usiness" or e*am!le& s!ace is a huge issue 'hen !lanning (arious construction

!ro.ects" or instance& the sie or area of a s!ecific a!!liance or tool can greatly affect ho' it'ill fit in to your home or 'or$!lace& an can affect ho' the other !arts of your home 'oul

fit aroun it" This is 'hy it is essential to ta$e account of areas& )oth of your s!ace& an the

item that you are a)out to integrate in there" In aition& geometry !lays a role in )asic

engineering !ro.ects" or e*am!le& using the concept of perimeter& you can com!ute the

amount of material e*": !aint& fencing material& etc4 that you nee to use for your !ro.ect"

-lso& esigning !rofessions such as interior design and architecture uses dimensional

figures" - thorough $no'lege of geometry is going to hel! them a lot in etermining the

!ro!er style an more im!ortantly& o!timie its function4 of a s!ecific house& )uiling& or

(ehicle"

Those are some of the more )asic uses of geometry& )ut it oesn5t en there" -s some more

!rofessions use geometry in orer to o their .o) !ro!erly" or e*am!le& computer imaging&

something that is use no'aays for creating animations& (ieo games& esigning& an stuff

li$e that& are create using geometric conce!ts" -lso& geometry is use in mapping"

Ma!!ing is an essential element in !rofessions such as sur(eying& na(igation& an

astronomy" rom s$etching to calculating istances& they use geometry to accom!lish their

.o)" In aition& !rofessions such as meicine )enefit from geometric imaging" Technologies

such as !T scans and "RIsare use )oth for iagnosis an surgical ais" Such methos

ena)le octors to o their .o) )etter& safer& an sim!ler"

-s you can see& geometry affects us e(en in the most )asic etails of our li(es" /o matter'hat the form& it hel!s us unerstan s!ecific !henomena an it hel!s us in u!lifting the

6uality of life"
