Geometry

Study of shapes, sizes, properties of space, and geometric relationships.

Practical Applications

Geometry in Construction and Engineering

Building a Better World

Construction workers and engineers rely on geometry to make sure buildings are strong and safe.

How Geometry Helps

  • Calculating area to buy flooring or tiles
  • Using angles to make sure walls are straight and roofs fit perfectly
  • Designing bridges and towers with stable shapes (like triangles)

Everyday Examples

Geometry ensures your house stands tall, your bridges are safe, and your playground slides are fun (and not too steep)!

Examples

  • Figuring out how many tiles are needed to cover a kitchen floor.

  • Making sure a ramp has the right angle for a wheelchair.
