Intermediate Geometry

Intermediate Geometry explores the properties and relationships of shapes, sizes, and theorems in two and three dimensions.

Practical Applications

Navigation and Mapping

Finding Your Way with Geometry

Geometry helps us read maps, plan routes, and navigate the world. It allows us to calculate distances, angles, and locations precisely.

Practical Uses

  • GPS devices use geometry to triangulate your position.
  • Pilots and sailors plot courses using angles and distances.
  • City planners use geometric grids for organizing streets.

Next time you use a map, thank geometry for getting you where you need to go!

Examples

  • A GPS system uses the distance formula to locate your position.

  • Sailors use angles and triangles for navigation at sea.
