Interesting Geometry Facts
Geometry is a branch of mathematics that dates back to ancient Egypt and Babylon. It involves the study of shapes, sizes, and the properties of space. 🧮🔺
- Euclidean geometry: Named after the renowned Greek mathematician Euclid, it lays the foundation for much of modern geometry.
- Pythagorean Theorem: In any right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides: a² + b² = c².
- Pi (π): A mathematical constant representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It's an infinite, non-repeating decimal approximately equal to 3.14159.
Geometry is not just a subject; it's a way of visualizing the world. 🌍✨
