noun
- Plural of geometry; the branch of mathematics that deals with shapes, sizes, and properties of figures and spaces.
- The shapes, spatial arrangements, or structural forms of objects or systems.
- Different mathematical systems or models based on different axioms (such as Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries).
Usage: Most common sense; refers to multiple systems or applications of geometric study.
Usage: Used in technical and scientific contexts to describe physical configurations.
Usage: Advanced mathematical sense; used in higher mathematics and theoretical physics.
Examples
- Students learned about different geometries in their advanced math class.
- The architect studied various geometries to design the building's unique shape.
- Non-Euclidean geometries challenged traditional mathematical thinking.
- The geometries of crystals determine their physical properties.
- Engineers must understand the geometries of mechanical parts to ensure they fit together properly.
- Modern physics relies on complex geometries to describe spacetime.
