 WHAT IS GEOMENTRY?
 Geometry is one of the classical disciplines of math.
 Roughly translating in Greek as "Earth
Measurement", it is concerned with the properties
of space and figures.
 It is primarily developed to be a practical guide for
measuring lengths, areas, and volumes, and is still
in use up to now.
WHEN DO WE ACTUALLY USE GEOMETRY?

 Area
 Perimeter
 Volume
 AREA
Area problems are one of the most common uses of geometry in
our everyday lives.
A = L x W, or area equals length times width

Application 1: To install new carpet in your bedroom. How much

carpet will you need to buy?
Measure your room's length and width and then multiply them
together to find out how many square feet of carpeting is needed. This
is represented by the formula. If, your room is 12 feet by 10 feet, you
will need 120 square feet of carpet.
 AREA

Application 2: If you are planning a garden. A bag of fertilizer says it

can cover 100 square feet. You need to know how many bags you will
need. Measure the area of your garden (length times width) to find
your area.
Let's say my garden measures 40 feet by 20 feet. I need to cover
800 square feet of area with fertilizer. Divide 800 by 100 and you get
8. We need 8 bags of fertilizer for my garden.
 PERIMETER

Perimeter = sum of all sides

If the length of sides of garden is 40, 20, 40 and 20. If you

want to fence a garden. Find the perimeter of the garden.
Perimeter = 40 +20 + 40 + 20 = 120 feet.
You need 120 feet of fencing to enclose your garden.
 VOLUME
Volume is length times width times height or V = L x W x H
You can use volume to find out how much sand is needed to
fill a sandbox. You have built a sandbox that is 5 feet long by
5 feet wide. The side could be

5 x 5 x 0.5 = 12.5 cubic feet.

It will take 12.5 cubic feet of sand to fill our sandbox. A fifty
pound bag of sand is approximately half a cubic foot, so 25
bags would fill the sandbox completely full.
Uses of geometry in various

occupations
 MECHANICAL
ENGINEER

A mechanical engineer designs machines ranging from

tiny gear sets to large construction cranes. Using geometry, he
determines the strongest shapes for mechanical parts.
He calculates the area, weight and volume of pieces and
ensures that a machine's thousands of moving parts fit together and
don't interfere with one other.
 SURVEYOR

A surveyor uses trigonometry, a branch of geometry, to

measure distances and angles between points on land.
Trigonometry uses the mathematical properties of right
triangles; by measuring one angle and one distance, the surveyor can
calculate the lengths of the other sides and the angles between them.
While computerized and automated equipment now does the actual
work of calculation, the surveyor
MATHEMATICIAN

A mathematician uses sophisticated conceptual tools to investigate

the properties of shapes. Using proofs, which justify geometric ideas
in a clear, step-by-step manner, he lays the mathematical foundations
for new ideas in geometry.
The mathematician then publishes these ideas, and people of other
occupations adopt them in useful ways. The mathematician also
educates and trains students in using geometry, proofs and
mathematical concepts.
 ASTRONOMER

Many of the ideas an astronomer uses are applications of

geometry. As stars and galaxies form, they settle into shapes such as
spheres and discs that conform to their mass, their composition and
the force of gravity.
An astronomer studies the elliptical orbits of comets, asteroids
and planets; to find exact answers to questions about their speed and
location, she uses the mathematical properties of ellipses
 GRAPHIC DESIGNER

A graphic designer studies how basic geometric shapes

combine into artistic visual layouts in two and three dimensions.
A graphic artist uses geometric concepts such as perspective
and golden ratios to create the most pleasing designs.
He uses computer graphical tools that break complex, realistic
images into many basic circles, lines and polygons.
 PHYSICS

Geometry in physics is widely used to prepare the equations for

the projectile motion, the path of trajectory etc. Trigonometric
geometry can be easily used to solve many problems of physics in
problems on work an vector quantities as the include trigonometric
values. It is used to find the direction of the force exerted by a
magnetic field with the help of a tangent. It can also be used to find
the direction of the force exerted on the when it is in circular motion.
BUILDING
 OTHER AREAS AND OCCUPATIONS
 Animations, video games, designing, car, etc
 Mapping such as surveying, navigation, and
astronomy.
 Medicine namely CT scans and MRIs
 CONCLUSION
Geometry affects us even in the most
basic details of our lives. No matter
what the form, it helps us understand
specific phenomena and it helps us in
uplifting the quality of life.
