List of basic geometry topics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For a more comprehensive list, see the list of geometry topics.

Geometry is one of the main branches of mathematics and deals with space and spatial relationships. It covers the measurement, properties, and relationships of points, lines, angles, curves, planes, and shapes, in both two- and three-dimensions. Basic topics in geometry include:
