because the teachers don't know how to teach it or how to better explain it so that the people that don't know how to do it will better understand it. and the only help they try to give you is to make you stay after school and some people don't have time to stay after and then in the end they fail the class.

Euclid was known as the father of geometry, so no he was not known as a mother except in the blurted utterance, "Who was the mutha that invented geometry."
The altitude of a triangle IS a geometric concept so it intersects geometry in its very existence.
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. ---
Basic geometry terms are lines, points segments and rays, so it should be "point".
are you asking for help on finding definition for geometric terms? if so go to: http://library.thinkquest.org/2647/geometry/glossary.htm#b and to wikipedia for x and j terms
