Geometry is a part of mathematics that deals with the shape, position and size of things of geometric forms such as squares, triangles, cubes and cones. Its name comes from the Greek words meaning ‘earth measuring’, because it was probably originally invented as a means of surveying and measuring land.
The ancient Egyptians also used geometry when constructing buildings and tombs. Nowadays, geometry is important to engineers and architects. It is also essential in navigation because geometry is used to follow charts and maps.
