What is a cone in geometry?
Its a circular shaped bottom that comes to a point at the top.
What is the purpose of Euclidean geometry?
The purpose of Euclidean Geometry is to understand plane (2-D) and solid (3-D) geometry with the understanding that things are "flat". Around 300BC Euclid organized the current knowledge of geometry in a series called the "13 elements" . Euclid was a famous Greek mathematician. The Greeks considered geometry to be its pride and joy. They were the first to ask important questions beginning with "How and Why". Their main goals were to spread their knowledge of Geometry and answer the question relating to the purpose of Geometry. The answer, the purpose of Geometry is to understand the purpose or existence of life (mankind) itself. Geometry is not just about shapes and things that have been created by mankind. Geometry is in nature and even exists in the things we cannot see. "Geo" means Earth and "metry" comes from the word meaning measurement. So, rightfully so geometry mean the measurement of earth. I will leave you with a famous pun- Without geometry, life is pointless. ---
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.

Where does Geometry came from?
the words geometry comes from the greek word geometria.
Where geometry came from?
Geometry comes from a Greek word meaning 'earth measurement'
What math class comes after algebra?
Geometry
Do you have to take algebra 1 before you take geometry?
YEAH! Algebra 1 comes before geometry.
What comes first geometry or algebra?
It depends on your school, but it is usually Algebra 1, Algebra 2, then Geometry.
What comes first algebra 2 or geometry?
It depends on your school, but it is usually Algebra 1, Algebra 2, then Geometry.
Can you skip pre algebra and algebra and go into geometry?
You can get through many aspects of geometry without pre-algebra or algebra. However, when it comes to the measurement in geometry, you need algebra for that.
Why does geometry get called geometry?
It comes from geo (Earth) and metron (measure). So in a technical sense, it means to measure Earth or land.
What is a cone in geometry?
Its a circular shaped bottom that comes to a point at the top.
Geometry in mathematics comes under pure mathematics or applied mathematics?
When you study the theory of geometry, it is pure mathematics. However, when you start using the geometry you have learned in other, more practical areas, then it becomes applied.
What branch of mathematics is the pythagorean theorem most useful in?
Geometry, especially when it comes to triangles and squares.
What is geometry entomologicaly?
Don't bug me. Entomology is the study of insects. ETYMOLOGY is the study of word origins, and "geometry" comes from an Ancient Greek word meaning "earth-measuring" -- what we now call "surveying".
