Elementary geometry and Foundations.

In summary, elementary geometry is a branch of mathematics that focuses on the study of shapes and figures in two and three dimensions. The basic concepts in this subject include points, lines, angles, and various types of polygons. One can find the area and perimeter of a shape by using specific formulas, and elementary geometry has many real-world applications in fields such as architecture, engineering, and everyday activities like home improvement projects and navigation.

This book is not yet written. I am planning, but just now I have not enough time for that.
 

1. What is elementary geometry?

Elementary geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of shapes, sizes, and properties of figures in two and three dimensions. It is a foundational subject that is essential for understanding more advanced areas of geometry.

2. What are the basic concepts in elementary geometry?

The basic concepts in elementary geometry include points, lines, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, and polygons. These concepts are used to describe and classify geometric figures.

3. What are the different types of angles in elementary geometry?

The three main types of angles in elementary geometry are acute, obtuse, and right angles. An acute angle is less than 90 degrees, an obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees, and a right angle is exactly 90 degrees.

4. How do you find the area and perimeter of a shape in elementary geometry?

To find the area of a shape in elementary geometry, you can use the formula A = l x w, where A is the area, l is the length, and w is the width. To find the perimeter, you can add up the lengths of all the sides of the shape.

5. How is elementary geometry used in the real world?

Elementary geometry has many practical applications in the real world, such as in architecture, construction, engineering, and design. It is also used in everyday activities, such as measuring and calculating areas and angles in home improvement projects or in navigating directions on a map.
