Why is Geometry Important

Introduction :

Geometry is a study of relationship between size and shapes. It was a fully study of angles, shape of objects, area of an object and volume of an object and perimeter. Geometry was fully originated two-dimensional and three dimensional objects. In every day geometry is nearly a rounded me .Without geometry we cannot identify the shape of an objects and also properties of an object. Why geometry important means ,Mainly when and how we have to apply the relationship and measurement of angles ,shapes,lines,solids and surface areas for the better preparation.


Why is geometry important in reallife:


Geometry used in technology

Computer graphics
Structural engineering
Robotics technology
Machine imaging
Animations applications
General application for geometry:

For example we having rectangular garden, now we have to find the area of the grassed rectangular space mean, we use for measuring tools for finding measurement height, length of the garden and then easily find the area of garden using geometry concepts.

Why geometry important:

Used to identifying the shape and size of an object.
Finding the area, volume, Surface area of an object and also we have to know about angles, lines. Properties of an object.
Use more technologies for  finding the transformation  and position of an objects from the original condition.


Why geometry is important in technologies:


Computer graphics: Computer graphics is fully based on geometry concepts. Why geometry was important in computer graphics mean, How the objects or images are transferred from one position to another position and also changes in that position.

Robotics technology:  In robotics technology geometry was using mean, how to grasp a objects shape, also how to move the shape without collision.

Computer-aided design:  Geometry is also used computer aided geometry design. It was represented to create or make the objects based how the user instruct to the machines. Example making a car.

Solving Geometry Practice

Introduction for geometry:

Geometry is one of the main branch of mathematics. The  word  “geometry”  is resultant from the combination of two Greek words “geo” and “metron”.  geo means “earth” and metron  means “measurement”. ”Euclid, a distinguished Greek mathematician, called the father of geometry. A point is used to represent a place in space. a plane to be a surface extending infinitely in all directions such that all points lying on the line joining any two points on the surface.


Example problems for geometry:


Example 1:

Solving the following equation, Calculate the values for x-intercept, the y-intercept, and the slope .

2x + 4y = 20

Solution:

The slope intercept form, y= mx +b

Here   m represent slope

b represent y intercept

2x+4y=20

On solving this, We get

4y = 20-2x

4y = -2x+20

On solving this, We get

y = (-2/4) x+20/4

y = (-1/2) x+5

X-intercept = 5

Y-intercept = 5

Slope = - 0.5

Example 2:

John wants to decorate her Christmas tree. He wants to place the tree on a greeting box covered with colored paper with picture of Santa Claus on it. He must know the correct quantity of paper buying for this purpose. If the box has length, breadth and height as 60 cm, 20 cm and 10 cm respectively how many square sheets of paper of side 10 cm would he need?

Solution:

Since John wants to paste the paper on the outer surface of the box, the quantity of paper required would be equal to the surface area of the box, which is of the shape of cuboids. The dimensions of the box are:

Length =60 cm, Breadth = 20 cm, Height = 10 cm.

The surface area of the box = 2( lb + bh + hl )

= 2[(60 × 20) + (20 × 10) + (10 × 60)] cm^2

On solving this, We get

= 2(1200 + 200 + 600) cm^2

= 2 × 2000 cm^2 = 4000 cm^2

The area of each sheet of the paper  = 10 × 10 cm^2

= 1000 cm^2

Therefore,    the required sheet  = surface area of box/ area of one sheet of paper

= 4000/1000

On solving this, We get

= 4

Therefore, he would need for 4 sheets.

Geometry Tools Online

Introduction for geometry tools online:

Geometry tools online describes how to handle the geometry tools and its measurement uses. Geometry tools online such as protractor, divider, and compass which are complicated to measure and to draw. For that, we have to know some basic geometry knowledge and angles determination. Geometry tools online explains use and methods to measure.
A Geometrical instruments box contains a whole geometric tools and basic requirement for those who learn geometry.

Is this topic How to Find the Volume of a Hemisphere hard for you? Watch out for my coming posts.

Geometric tools online and its measure techniques are as follows:


Ruler:
Ruler is used to measure the length of line segment .Ruler has one edge is graduated in centimeters and the other edges with inches. A ruler is used to draw neat lines and to measure the length of the line segment.

Compass:
Compass is used to draw a circle with a given measurement of its radius and a line segment. We can also construct the angles for given measures with the help of compass. There is a provision given for compass to insert a pencil.

Divider:
It is used to measure the length of a line segment and to compare the lengths of two given line segments.

A pair of Set – Squares:
They are used to construct perpendicular lines and parallel lines. One set-square has 30° - 60° - 90° angles at the vertices and the other has 45° - 45° - 90° angles at the vertices.

Protractor:
A protractor’s curved edge is graduated into 180 equal parts. Each line part is equal to one degree.The semi circle line graduation starts from 0° on right hand side and ends with 180° on left hand side and vice versa. A protractor is used to construct and to measure given angles.

To construct almost accurate figures remember the following :

In the instruments box all the instruments should have fine edges and tips.
It is better to have an eraser and two pencils in the box, so as to use one pencil with compass for inserting in it and the other to draw lines and mark points.
Always draw thin lines and mark points lightly.
