Geometry in the Real World


Most teenagers, while taking geometry, think about when they will ever use this. Trust me I have thought about it plenty myself, and, even if the career path I desire to travel doesn't require geometry, there are millions that it is a necessity to know this math course. Geometry is used in jobs that range from interior design to even being a gardener! It is even used in normal everyday life too.  Say you want to get new carpet in your house. What you are going to be using to figure out how much carpet is needed is the subject called geometry. Also imagine you want to get some new stainless steel appliances to add those final touches to your kitchen. To determine if the appliances will fit in the space available, you have to know cubic footage which is, you guessed it, geometry.  Just ponder about this for a second. Would you rather sit in your class and daydream, snooze off, and not pay attention only to grow up and not get your dream job because you don’t remember anything that was taught? Or do you pay attention, study, and do your homework for the time that you are in that math class and end up getting that occupation you are yearning for?  The choice is yours: work hard and succeed or slack off and possibly fail?
