GEOMETRY
Geometry
Geometry is all about shapes and their properties. The two most common subjects are:
Plane Geometry (is about flat shapes like lines, circles and triangles ... shapes that can be drawn on a piece of paper)
Solid Geometry (is about three dimensional objects like cubes and pyramids).
If you like playing with objects, or like drawing, geometry is for you!
Hint: Try drawing some of the shapes and angles as you learn ... it helps.
Solids !
Solid Geometry is the geometry of three-dimensional space - the kind of space we live in ...
Polyhedra :(they must have flat faces)
Platonic Solids
Prisms
Pyramids
Non-Polyhedra:(if any surface is not flat)
Sphere
Torus
Cylinder
ConeAlso: Volume of a Cuboid
Plane Geometry
Plane Geometry is all about shapes on a flat surface (like on an endless piece of paper).
