Where did tetrahedron originate?
Euclid discusses the tetrahedron in his Elements of Geometry, around 300 BC, and it is probably much older.
In what country did geometry originate?
It may be easier to talk about what part of the world the study of geometry originated in. The earliest records of geometry can be traced to two areas around 3,000 BC-- the Indus Valley which is modern-day India and Pakistan, and Babylonia /Mesopotamia, which is modern-day Iraq.
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.
