How egypian's are considered to be the best use of geomerty?

Answer 1

Hello friend,

We know that the ancient Egyptians understood geometry because of two important documents from their culture: the Rhind Papyrus (1650 BCE) and the Moscow Papyrus (1700 BCE). These documents may have been very early math textbooks: they contain geometry problems and solutions, as well as information about the Egyptian fraction system. They tell us a lot about how Egyptians used geometry, since the examples given can all be applied to daily life in those times: calculating the surface area of a basket, measuring cloth, determining the volume of different types of pyramids, etc.

The most obvious examples of the ancient Egyptians’ expertise in geometry are the pyramids. The Great Pyramid at Giza, in particular, has a nearly-perfect square base, with the four sides lined up exactly to the north, south, east, and west. Design precision like this does not happen by accident—the architects and engineers had to know how to plan it out mathematically before they started building.
Hope it helps.....
