how was geometry used in ancient egypt?

Question

any answers will be appreciated

Answer 1

The ancient Egyptians displayed their considerable grasp of geometry in a number of ways. What is arguably the most obvious is the way geometry was used in the construction of the pyramids and other buildings and monuments. Certainly they laid out their cities using geometric principles.



It was Ahmes (actually Ahmose), who left us with a fine approximation of the value of pi from that time. There are other examples, but none with the drama and "recognition value" of the geometric applications in religious architecture and construction first cited.

Answer 2

It is also said they were the first surveyors. The Nile floods every year, which wiped out their boundary markers, so they had to re-plot their farms annually.

Answer 3

PYRAMIDS?!
