It is an understanding of geometry because when the Egyptian slaves and/or laborers were building the pyramids they needed to make sure that all of the sides were the exact same size and that would require math or geometry to make a 3D figure like a pyramid.

No. Camels did not build pyramids, they were built by human slaves
The ancient Egyptians displayed their considerable grasp of geometry in a number of ways. What is arguably the most obvious is the way geometry was used in the construction of the pyramids and other buildings and monuments. Certainly they laid out their cities using geometric principles. It was Ahmes (actually Ahmose), who left us with a fine approximation of the value of pi from that time. There are other examples, but none with the drama and "recognition value" of the geometric applications in religious architecture and construction first cited. Wikipedia has a bit more posted, and a link to their article can be found below. In other words they used geometry by building pyramids.
How did the building of the pyramids lead to advances in mathematics
The Ancient Egyptians constructed pyramids as tombs for their pharaohs (kings).
i think they used the birds and humans AS THE SHAPES. IM PRETTY SURE THATS HOW THEY USED GEOMETRY.IM NO 2 SURE. well, to build the pyramids they jad to have some kind of geometry. to cut the blocks so it would make a smooth side and the put it all together and have rooms they had to have geometry to figure that out.
