Coordinate geometry The Basics: Find the distance between two points using Pythagoras’ theorem. The midpoint is the average (mean) of the coordinates. The gradient = Parallel lines have the same gradient. The gradients of perpendicular lines have a product of -1. Straight Lines: Equation of a straight line is y = mx + c‚ where m = gradient‚ c = y-intercept. The equation of a line‚ if we know one point and the gradient is found using: (y - y1) = m(x - x1) (If given two points‚ find the

is not a problem! Geometry (Ancient Greek: γεωμετρία; geo- "earth"‚ -metri "measurement") "Earth-measuring" is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape‚ size‚ relative position of figures‚ and the properties of space. Geometry is one of the oldest mathematical sciences. Initially a body of practical knowledge concerning lengths‚ areas‚ and volumes‚ in the 3rd century BC geometry was put into an axiomatic form by Euclid‚ whose treatment—Euclidean geometry—set a standard for many

Geometry (Greek γεωμετρία; geo = earth‚ metria = measure)‚ Its beginnings can be traced in ancient Egypt or early or before 1700 B.C. Due to necessity‚ every time the Nile River inundated and deposited fertile soil along the bank‚ the early Egyptian had to solve the problem of size and boundaries of land along the Nile River. Changes happened in the contour of the land had caused confusion among landowners. So a system of making boundaries‚ measuring lengths and areas had to be discovered

Descriptive Geometry “Drawing is the language of design‚ and if drawing can be thought of as a language then‚ descriptive geometry is the grammar of this language.” Definition: Descriptive geometry is the branch of geometry which allows the representation of three-dimensional objects in two dimensions‚ by using a specific set of procedures. The resulting techniques are important for engineering‚ architecture‚ design and in art. The theoretical basis for descriptive geometry is provided

have conducted my research through interview with someone familiar with construction and development as how geometry is used in these fields. The first step to development is to survey the property in order to document and draw the bounds and land surface shapes. The property will be represented by various geometry elements such as points‚ lines‚ arcs‚ circles‚ and other defined geometry shapes. Surveyors use scope on tripods witch use projection of line Referenced point on a stick in order to

How is geometry used in everyday life? When you’re studying a subject‚ the science of lines and angles can seem like nothing more than a dull exercise in formulas and predictability. In reality‚ geometry is at work everywhere you go. Whether you’re aware of it or not‚ geometry quite literally shapes our lives. An Ancient Science‚ how long has geometry been around? To answer that question‚ let’s take a look at where geometry gets its name. Geometry is derived from the Greek words for Earth (Geo)

amateur mathematician. He became known because of the contribution he made in mathematics and physics in the twentieth century. Hilbert is well remembered for landmark researches he conducted in algebra. He also left an indelible mark in axiomatic geometry and mathematics. Hilbert also profoundly contributed in other areas such as invariant theory and mathematical physics. Hilbert studied at the university of Konigsberg‚ and during his studies‚ he made several trips to abroad. He visited Europe on

Geometry divided into two types such as plane geometry and solid geometry. Plane Geometry is about flat shapes like lines‚ circles and triangles. shapes that can be drawn on a flat surface called a Plane (it is like on an endless piece of paper). Solid Geometry is about solid (3-dimensional) shapes like spheres and cubes. Geometry topics taught in high school or secondary
