 The word geometry derives from the Greek geo (earth)

and metron (measure)

 It is the branch of mathematics that focuses on the


properties, and measurement of points, lines, angles,
surfaces, and solids, and, the exploration of the
relationships between these properties and
measurements.
 A Greek mathematician who is credited as
being the "Father of Geometry" or “Founder
of Geometry”.

 He wrote Elements, which contained all of


the known concepts of geometry.
