The literal translation of geometry is “earths measure”, geo meaning “earth” and metres meaning “measure”. Geometry is a branch of mathematics that focuses on measurements, properties and the relationship of points, lines, planes, surfaces and shapes. Although it differs from algebra considerably, a great deal of the work done will pull from topics mastered in algebra last year.
