WHO created this geometry theory?

In summary, the conversation discusses a theory stating that the semicircle EBIG is equal to the difference between the rectangle ACJD and the cutoff cone ACHF. The speaker questions the validity of this theory and asks for more information about it. They also provide their own opinion, stating that it looks false based on the picture.

ok the theory says something like...

the semicircle EBIG = the difference between the rectangle ACJD and the cutoff cone ACHF

not sure if this is some important thing or anything?

but if it is,

who made it and where can i get some info bout it?

But it looks false to me...Basically you're stating that half of the small semicircle cutoff equals one of the side triangles...but the height is equal...almoust, the base of half is a lot bigger, and a semicircle attracts more surface than a triangle...in the curve vs oblique line.

I see it as not true to be honest...but that's only by looknig at the picture.

ok thanks that is all. no more comment needed
 

1. Who is credited with creating the geometry theory?

The ancient Greek mathematician Euclid is credited with creating the foundations of geometry in his book, "Elements," around 300 BC.

2. Did Euclid come up with all aspects of geometry theory?

No, while Euclid is credited with creating the foundations of geometry, many other mathematicians and scientists have contributed to the development and evolution of geometry theory over time.

3. How has geometry theory evolved over time?

Geometry theory has evolved significantly over time, with contributions from mathematicians such as Descartes, Leibniz, and Gauss. It has also been applied in various fields, such as physics, engineering, and computer science.

4. Is geometry theory still relevant today?

Absolutely, geometry theory is still widely used and studied today. It has practical applications in fields such as architecture, navigation, and design, as well as theoretical applications in mathematics and science.

5. Are there any controversies surrounding the creation of geometry theory?

There have been some debates and controversies surrounding the origins of geometry theory, as well as the contributions of various mathematicians. However, Euclid remains widely recognized as the creator of the foundations of geometry theory.
