Plato's contribution to geometry was talking about how geometrical diagrams were imperfect imitations of the perfect mathematical objects that they represent. He felt that mathematics provided the perfect training for the mind.

Euclidean geometry, non euclidean geometry. Plane geometry. Three dimensional geometry to name but a few
There are different kinds of geometry including elementary geometry, Euclidean geometry, and Elliptic Geometry.
Archimedes - Euclidean geometry Pierre Ossian Bonnet - differential geometry Brahmagupta - Euclidean geometry, cyclic quadrilaterals Raoul Bricard - descriptive geometry Henri Brocard - Brocard points.. Giovanni Ceva - Euclidean geometry Shiing-Shen Chern - differential geometry René Descartes - invented the methodology analytic geometry Joseph Diaz Gergonne - projective geometry; Gergonne point Girard Desargues - projective geometry; Desargues' theorem Eratosthenes - Euclidean geometry Euclid - Elements, Euclidean geometry Leonhard Euler - Euler's Law Katyayana - Euclidean geometry Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky - non-Euclidean geometry Omar Khayyam - algebraic geometry, conic sections Blaise Pascal - projective geometry Pappus of Alexandria - Euclidean geometry, projective geometry Pythagoras - Euclidean geometry Bernhard Riemann - non-Euclidean geometry Giovanni Gerolamo Saccheri - non-Euclidean geometry Oswald Veblen - projective geometry, differential geometry
Plane Geometry and Solid Geometry
Major contributions of the plato in geometers
Plato helped contribute to laying the foundations of modern Western Science.
he contributed with the Plato Philosophy and math.
In the field of geometry, Plato is most know for discovering five different three dimensional shapes. They are known as Platonic solids.

yes, he did contribute to the field of geometry. he credited Gauss with formulating the mathematical fundamentals of the theory of relativity.
Because he was a smart man with a lot of knowledge

"Let no one ignorant of geometry enter here"
He created the math and geometry
