Preferred to draw math (which became geometry)Thought math was better represented with a drawing Artistic abilitiesAll these things helped him create geometryMain StudiesGeometry

Geometry is centered around the properties and configurations of geometric objects. (solids, points, straight lines ect.)The word geometry comes from the Greek word geometria. Geometry can be easily found in nature.The literal translation of geometria is to measure the earth

What is Geometry

Polyhedrons are solids that always have FLAT faces.

The word polyhedron is derived from the Greek language. Poly- which means many, and -edron which means faces.

Polyhedrons can be anything from cubes to dodecahedrons. This means the number of faces can vary greatly.

Ployhedrons can never have curves
