Geometry

Definition

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that studies shapes, sizes, positions, angles, and dimensions of objects in space. It explores properties such as symmetry, congruence, similarity, and transformations.

Related terms

Congruent: Two figures are congruent if they have the same shape and size.

Pythagorean Theorem:

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right 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.

Transformations: Transformations in geometry include translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations that change the position or size of a figure.
