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.
