Depending on the angle of the shot, how far away you are from the basket, and the amount of force you put on the ball all determine if you'll make the shot or come up empty.

How is geometry used in basketball?
Geometry can be used in basketball to calculate the exact angle and distance you need to shoot the ball to get it into the hoop. But without a protractor and measuring tape it's practically useless. :P
Different types of geometry?
Euclidean geometry, non euclidean geometry. Plane geometry. Three dimensional geometry to name but a few
Is there more than one kind of geometry?
There are different kinds of geometry including elementary geometry, Euclidean geometry, and Elliptic Geometry.
Famous geometers and their contributions in geometry?

Giovanni Ceva - Euclidean geometry Shiing-Shen Chern - differential geometry René Descartes - invented the methodology analytic geometry Joseph Diaz Gergonne - projective geometry; Gergonne point Girard Desargues - projective geometry; Desargues' theorem Eratosthenes - Euclidean geometry Euclid - Elements, Euclidean geometry Leonhard Euler - Euler's Law Katyayana - Euclidean geometry Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky - non-Euclidean geometry Omar Khayyam - algebraic geometry, conic sections Blaise Pascal - projective geometry Pappus of Alexandria - Euclidean geometry, projective geometry Pythagoras - Euclidean geometry Bernhard Riemann - non-Euclidean geometry Giovanni Gerolamo Saccheri - non-Euclidean geometry Oswald Veblen - projective geometry, differential geometry
What are the Top two types of geometry?
Plane Geometry and Solid Geometry
Is there geometry in basketball?
yes, the ball is a sphere with a diameter and a radius-which is geometry
How do you use geometry in basketball?

How is basketball related to geometry and physics?
That's a hard question. The only thing I can think of is when Quinn says that Basketball is Basic Geometry & Physics on Zoey 101. I'm not sure how they're related. Good question.
What does geometry has to do with shooting a basketball?
Hello my name is Marco Brown and I'm trying to figure out what does geometry has to do with shooting a basketball. If you have any information or if you could possibly help me out, it would be a delight. Please send a post to this website. Thankyou and have a nice day.

What are some real world applications of geometry?
Euclidean geometry has become closely connected with computational geometry, computer graphics, convex geometry, and some area of combinatorics. Topology and geometry The field of topology, which saw massive developement in the 20th century is a technical sense of transformation geometry. Geometry is used on many other fields of science, like Algebraic geometry. Types, methodologies, and terminologies of geometry: Absolute geometry Affine geometry Algebraic geometry Analytic geometry Archimedes' use of infinitesimals Birational geometry Complex geometry Combinatorial geometry Computational geometry Conformal geometry Constructive solid geometry Contact geometry Convex geometry Descriptive geometry Differential geometry Digital geometry Discrete geometry Distance geometry Elliptic geometry Enumerative geometry Epipolar geometry Euclidean geometry Finite geometry Geometry of numbers Hyperbolic geometry Information geometry Integral geometry Inversive geometry Inversive ring geometry Klein geometry Lie sphere geometry Non-Euclidean geometry Numerical geometry Ordered geometry Parabolic geometry Plane geometry Projective geometry Quantum geometry Riemannian geometry Ruppeiner geometry Spherical geometry Symplectic geometry Synthetic geometry Systolic geometry Taxicab geometry Toric geometry Transformation geometry Tropical geometry
What is the use of geometry in sports?
the angle that players kick in soccer the angle they swing the bat in baseball the angle they shoot in basketball soccer balls have pentagons and hexagons on them
What are the four aspects of geometry?
* geometry in nature * for practcal use of geometry * geometry as a theory * historic practical use of geometry

Is there more than one kind of geometry?
There are different kinds of geometry including elementary geometry, Euclidean geometry, and Elliptic Geometry.
What specific applications of geometry are used in civil engineering?
Fun geometry, specific geometry, monster geometry, egg geometry, trees, turtles.
What is a characteristic of Euclidean geometry?
One main characteristic of non-Euclidean geometry is hyperbolic geometry. The other is elliptic geometry. Non-Euclidean geometry is still closely related to Euclidean geometry.
