Geometry was documented by the Sumerian civilization around 5,000 years ago; it was used by them in setting out temples (look up Gilgamesh). The Egyptians also studied and applied a sophisticated knowledge of geometry. In building Stonehenge, around 2,500 BC Neolithic surveyors also used survey methods based on geometric principals.

In my World History book it says, EUCLID.
Euclid developed Euclidean geometry around 300 BC. I cannot get much briefer than that.
Geometry was not really invented. There is a long history of the early discoveries in geometry. I will provide you with a reference. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_geometry
If you don't know then we certainly do not!

Bit of a strange question, if you mean How did it start, Euclid is often called the "father of geometry". Go to Wikipedia.org, "The World's Encyclopedia" and search geometry they will have a history section.

well idk well but i did dis project too n ya....ill just tell ya wat i wrote:P I have learned variety of things through this geometry project. I learned how geometry is a huge part of our environment and how it develops our living in many ways. Also, I now have a broader understanding of geometry and its usefulness to everyday life. Starting from the history and the background of geometry, I recognized the connections between mathematics and world history. In addition, in-depth understanding of one major historical figures in the evolution of geometry. With shapes and the terms of geometry, hope it helped u
