The formal study of geometry has been attributed to Euclid, who lived in Alexandria about 300 BC, but he also drew upon earlier works.

Why is Euclid considered the father of geometry?

Because he contributed most to geometry. His work can be found in the Elements. It is divided into 13 books. Books 1-6 dealing with plane geometry. Books 7-8 about number theory. Book 9 on irrational numbers. While books 10-13 about three-dimensional geometry. answered by-G.L.R.-


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.
