Picture
of Geometry used in the real world
Geometry
is used everywhere. Everywhere in the world there is geometry, mostly
made by man. Most man made structures today are in a form of Geometric.
How, you ask? Well some examples would the a CD, that is a 3-D circle
and the case would be a rectangular prism. Buildings, cars, rockets,
planes, maps are all great examples.
Here's
an example on how the world uses Geometry in buildings and structure.

This
a pictures with some basic geometric structures. This is a modern
reconstruction of the English Wigwam. As you can there the door
way is a rectangle, and the wooden panels on the side of the
house are made up of planes and lines. Except for really planes
can go on forever. The panels are also shaped in the shape of
squares. The house itself is half a cylinder.

Here
is another modern reconstruction if of a English Wigwam. This
house is much similar to the one before. It used a rectangle
as a doorway, which is marked with the right angles. The house
was made with sticks which was straight lines at one point.
With the sticks in place they form squares when they intercepts.
This English Wigwam is also half a cylinder.

This
is a modern day skyscraper at MIT. The openings and windows
are all made up of parallelograms. Much of them are rectangles
and squares. This is a parallelogram kind of building.

This
is the Hancock Tower, in Chicago. With this image, we can show
you more 3D shapes. As you can see the tower is formed by a
large cube. The windows are parallelogram. The other structure
is made up of a cone. There is a point at the top where all
the sides meet, and There is a base for it also which makes
it a cone.

This
is another building at MIT. this building is made up of cubes,
squares and a sphere. The cube is the main building and the
squares are the windows. The doorways are rectangle, like always.
On this building There is a structure on the room that is made
up of a sphere.

|
This
is the Pyramids, in Indianapolis. The pyramids are made up of
pyramids, of course, and squares. There are also many 3D geometric
shapes in these pyramids. The building itself is made up of
a pyramid, the windows a made up of tinted squares, and the
borders of the outside walls and windows are made up of 3D geometric
shapes.

This
is a Chevrolet SSR Roadster Pickup. This car is built with geometry.
The wheels and lights are circles, the doors are rectangular
prisms, the main area for a person to drive and sit in it a
half a sphere with the sides chopped off which makes it 1/4
of a sphere. If a person would look very closely the person
would see a lot more shapes in the car. Too many to list.

These
were all basic geometry shapes in the world today. There are a lot
more structure and things that contains geometry but that would be
too many to list.
