MATHEMATICS EXPLORING GEOMETRIC SHAPES AND THEIR REAL-LIFE EXAMPLES -SUKHREET KAUR Today you will learn about geometric shapes . We are going to teach you about the characteristics of the main geometric shapes, and to help you understand better, we will explain with examples. What Are Geometric Shapes? The ancient Greeks defined straight and curved lines by looking at their environment. Do you think they stopped there? Of course not! This is because straight lines are the basis for finding some figures we often find in the real world: geometric shapes. Geometric shapes refer to planar surfaces limited by lines that can be curved or straight. To help you understand better, we are going to explain with an example. We will start with something simple: two straight lines . Can you create a figure with two straight lines? Well, of course you can! This being said, we do not call this figure a geometric shape. For this to occur, it must be closed. This is to say, ...
