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?

Archimedes - Euclidean geometry Pierre Ossian Bonnet - differential geometry Brahmagupta - Euclidean geometry, cyclic quadrilaterals Raoul Bricard - descriptive geometry Henri Brocard - Brocard points.. 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 is a characteristic of non-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.


What is Non euclidean geometry?

Geometry that is not on a plane, like spherical geometry

What is the difference between a translation and a rotation in geometry?

In geometry, a translation moves an object without changing its shape or size, while a rotation turns an object around a fixed point.


How is a reflection rotation and translation similar?

they are all with shapes and have to do with geometry


What does translation mean in geometry?

On the Cartesian plane a translation moves every point on a shape in the same distance and direction


What is translation in geometry?

A translation is when a shape slides. There are three other transformations other than this: * rotation * dilation * reflection. During translation, an object changes its position but not orientation.


What is the difference between a reflection and a translation in geometry?

A reflection is a mirror image of a shape whereas a translation moves an image to a different place


What is the Translation formula in geometry?

T'a,b' (x , y)=(x+a , y+b)


Which describes a grid motion transformation in geometry?

In 2 dimensional space it is a translation vector which is a 2x1 column vector.


Two congruent triangles are drawn with geometry software. Determine whether the transformation shown is a translation. Answer yes or no?

yes


What does transformation mean in geometry?

A transformation is moving or changing the shape of a figure on the Cartesian plane by a translation, by a reflection, by a rotation or by an enlargment


What is the definition of translation?

The term "translation" can be generally defined as the action of interpretation of the meaning of a text, and production of an equivalent text that communicates the same message in another language. In geometry and physics, translation is the relocation of the position of points or objects. In cellular reproduction, translation is the first stage of protein biosynthesis.
