Introduction
Geometry is one of the most important branches of mathematics as it is implemented in our day-to-day life. Geometry is said to be derived from the Greek word 'Geo-metron', which means geo and measurement, respectively. It is the study of 2D and 3D shapes applicable not only in the classroom but also in art, science, and everyday life.
Geometry affects the basic details of our daily life, such as getting a scan done, creating an image or an animated video, building our house, decorating the home, etc. The list is never-ending, as geometry helps in uplifting one’s life.
Meaning of Geometry
One of the oldest sciences that still exist today is Geometry. It is the study of mathematics related to size, shapes, and figures, along with the properties of space. Initially, children learn about basic shapes, their properties, formulas, areas, and volumes, and ways of drawing different forms as part of their geometry class. But over the years, it has evolved, becoming a significant part of our daily lives.
At a young age, children learn how to use different geometrical tools like the protractor, ruler, and compass, which help build a base for them for the future, like constructing a building, making drawings, mapping, etc. Geometry allows you to determine how shapes and figures fit together to maximize efficiency and visual appeal. In daily life, we face many practical situations where we need to calculate a certain distance between objects, calculate the size of a shape that needs to be attached in a position for measurement, and much more.
Various examples from architecture, product in use, science, and technology.
Contemporary architecture is unusual, shocking, and futuristic. Even if it’s a few years old, some buildings still seem to be from the future. However, the best thing modern architects can do is to apply natural resources so that we can preserve the environment.
The Great Wall of China
Rolling over China's landscape, this architectural marvel blends into the countryside it was built to protect. The Great Wall is not one wall but many branches over thousands of miles. Built over two millennia from the 3rd century BC to the 17th century AD, the military defense system’s length was likely around 13,000 miles. While much less of it remains today, it’s still the longest wall in the world, with 2,150 miles of its mainline and about the same number of branches and spurs, according to Guinness World Records. One of mankind’s most remarkable building achievements; it’s impossible not to be awed by the sight of it.

The Taj Mahal
The most beautiful tomb ever created, India's Taj Mahal, looks delicate and refined, decorated with floral and geometric patterns, jewels, calligraphy, and a lace-like design in white marble that reflects the changing colors of the sun in front of a shimmering reflecting pool. Commissioned in 1632 by Emperor Shah Jahan for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, who had died after giving birth to their 14th child, the mausoleum took 20 years to build. The complex also includes a gateway, mosque, guest house, gardens, and four minarets. Inside the Taj Mahal, the decorations are just as elaborate around the cenotaph, or false tomb, of Mumtaz Mahal; her actual remains are buried below, at ground level.

Golghar Patna
Golghar, an enormous granary, was built by Captain John Garstin for the British army in 1786 after the terrible impact of the 1770 famine. The winding stairway around this monument offers a brilliant view of the city and the Ganga flowing nearby.
It is pillarless with a wall of thickness of 3.6 m at a base height of 29 m. One can climb at the top of the Golghar through the 145 steps of its spiral stairway. The spiral staircase was designed to facilitate the passage of the workers who deliver their load through a hole at the top and descend the other stairs.

What is an isometric view of an object ?
Isometric projection is a method for visually representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions in technical and engineering drawings. It is an axonometric projection in which the three coordinate axes appear equally foreshortened, and the angle between any two of them is 120 degrees.
