An introduction to the fundamental concepts of shapes, sizes, and the properties of space.

Practical Applications

Geometry in Building and Construction

Shapes That Build Our World

Geometry is the secret behind sturdy bridges, tall skyscrapers, and cozy homes.

How Builders Use Geometry

  • Measure lengths, widths, and heights for perfect fits.
  • Use triangle shapes for strong support in roofs and bridges.
  • Calculate angles to make sure walls stand straight.

Everyday Construction

From drawing blueprints to laying bricks, geometry is everywhere on a building site.

Examples

  • Architects use rectangles and triangles to design houses.

  • Carpenters measure angles to cut wood for furniture.
