Geometry
The word geometry is derived from the Greek word “Geo” and “matron” which means
Earth and measurement resp.
Euclid is considered to be the “Father of Geometry.”
The branch of mathematics concerned with the properties and relation of points, lines,
surfaces, solid and higher dimensional analog.

Explanation
Harry : Heyy tom can you imagine, our Earth, moon and other planets revolve around
the sun!
Tom : ohh really ! Then why don’t they collapse with each other?
Harry : because they always remains at a distance?
Tom : distance! how can we calculate the distance between the objects which is very far
from us?
Harry : simply by using geometry!
Tom : how?
You know Geometry is used in astronomy and physics in many ways. Use of geometry
is to find the distance between celestial bodies such as stars and planets. For example if
we form a triangle, we know one of the sides and the angle at which the telescope is
looking at then we can find the other side. A simple trigonometric ratios, sine, cosine
and tangent is used but other uses of geometry include measuring the speed and
velocity of planets orbiting other stars.

Sin = Ratio of perpendicular and the height of a right angled triangle = p/h
cos = Ratio of base and the height of a right angled triangle = b/h
tan = Ratio of perpendicular and the base of a right angled triangle = p/b

Explanations:
So, students do you have heard about Ronaldo and Messi??
Expected Ans : yes/no
What they do??
EA : plays football
Ok, all right
Now tell me, what exactly the player do while taking a corner?
EA : Strike the football
Ok, do we observe any space between path of football and the ground?
Is this space will remain same, if he collect the ball and strike again?
EA : yes/no, give reasons for both.
TE: it may be, but the space depends upon how much football initially lifted upward
making a gap between the path of the football and the ground.

Pythagoras theorem
Students, have you seen how electricians repair street bulbs?
They use ladder to climb. Do you know how the length of ladder is calculated? Let’s
find out.
c
a
b
let there be a 3 squares of different sides a, b and c joined edge to edge.
Now we measure the area of all the 3 squares. Pythagoras theorem says that square on
hypogenous is equal to sum of squares on the two legs
a 2 + b2 = c 2
Application of Pythagoras theorem
Architecture and construction
Given two straight lines, the Pythagorean Theorem allows us to calculate the length of
the diagonal connecting them. This application is frequently used in architecture,
woodworking, or other physical construction projects. For instance, say we are building
a sloped roof. If we know the height of the roof and the length for it to cover, we can use
the Pythagorean Theorem to find the diagonal length of the roof's slope. we can use
this information to cut properly sized beams to support the roof, or calculate the area of
the roof that we would need to shingle.
The Pythagorean Theorem is also used in construction to make sure buildings are
square. A triangle whose side lengths correspond with the Pythagorean Theorem – such
as a 3 foot by 4 foot by 5-foot triangle – will always be a right triangle. When laying out
a foundation, or constructing a square corner between two walls, construction workers
will set out a triangle from three strings that correspond with these lengths. If the string
lengths were measured correctly, the corner opposite the triangle's hypotenuse will be
a right angle, so the builders will know they are constructing their walls or foundations
on the right lines.
Application of geometry in art
What does art include? Art is about the formation of figures & shapes,
estimation, patterns & measurement.

Tell me what games do you play, with what equipment and where do you play?
Now tell me the shapes one by one.
satellite
GPS is Global Positioning System (GPS) which is installed in a satellite and also in our
smart phones. It provides information about the location and time. Using it GPS
employs calculate the distance between any two places
GPS
A B
By help of GPS we get distance between any two places.
And time can also be calculate by using distance(length) and speed the vehicle by
which you are travelling on that particular road.
For characters, trees, mountain, houses as shown in the picture, the video game
maker uses geometry like circle, square, rectangle etc.
So, behind all these, geometrical concepts are being used.
