Hello mate ✌️..
Explanation:
Geometry (from the Ancient Greek: γεωμετρία; geo- "earth", -metron "measurement") is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space.[1] A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a geometer.
Geometry arose independently in a number of early cultures as a practical way for dealing with lengths, areas, and volumes.[1] Geometry began to see elements of formal mathematical science emerging in Greek mathematics as early as the 6th century BC.[2] By the 3rd century BC, geometry was put into an axiomatic form by Euclid, whose treatment, The Elements, set a standard for many centuries to follow.[3] Geometry arose independently in India, with texts providing rules for geometric constructions appearing as early as the 3rd century BC.[4] Islamic scientists preserved Greek ideas and expanded on them during the Middle Ages.[5] By the early 17th century, geometry had been put on a solid analytic footing by mathematicians such as René Descartes and Pierre de Fermat. Since then, and into modern times, geometry has expanded into non-Euclidean geometry and manifolds, describing spaces that lie beyond the normal range of human experience.[6]
