Being competent in math is very helpful when working as a carpenter. If you know the proper math formulas you can often build things with less information and therefore quicker. Say I am on the ground and you are in the air nailing cut to fit pieces of plywood on a gable end of a roof. If I know how to figure the rise of the roof over the span of the pieces of plywood I will never have to ask you to measure the height where the new board meets the last installed board then ask you to measure over 4 feet and level up that line and measure the height of the cut at that point....I will have already cut the board and you dont have to stand there on a scaffold staring at my ass while i cut the board because by the time you install one I already figured and cut the next. Being able to do things right the first time counts alot in construction and if you can do that then your boss wont have any problem justifying that raise you just asked him for.

Why is geometry used in carpentry?
Geometry is used in carpentry to square foundations, walls, and to figure the length and angles of roof rafters. More specifically the Pythagorean Theorem is used for this purpose.== ==
What is the difference between geometry and solid geometry?
The difference between regular geometry and solid geometry is that regular geometry deals with angles, measuring angles, and theorem/postulates. Solid geometry deals with shapes and multiple sided figures.
What is the difference between a plane geometry and a solid geometry?
one is plane and one is solid
How is geometry used in carpentry?
Geometry is used in carpentry because most houses are a combination of different shapes, rectangles and squares for walls and floors, ceilings and roof planes - triangles for roof structures. The pythagorean theorem is used both to figure the length of the different components (rafters, collar ties, etc.) of the roof structure and also to maintain square corners when laying out floors, walls, etc.
Who is the greatest master of the geometry?
Either Euclid or Pythagoras; Euclid being the "father of geometry," and Pythagoras having discovered possibly the most important geometrical relation. (The Pythagorean theorem)
What math subjects are used in carpentry?
Geometry

What is the difference between angles of trigonometry and angles of geometry?
In geometry, angles are studied mostly in relation to each other. In Trigonometry, angles are studied in relation to side lengths and triangles.
When is geometry used?
Geometry is used in jobs like carpentry, architecture, and more. It was invented by Euclid ,the Greek mathematician.
What kind of math is in carpentry?
Simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, geometry, and trigonometry.
Jobs involving geometry?
Carpentry, arhitecture, auto body design-- just to name a few
What has the author Lloyd Dulmage written?
Lloyd Dulmage has written: 'On the relation between continuity and angle sum in hyperbolic geometry'
How do geometry teachers use pi?
They use it to describe the relation of the circumference to the diameter
Is Axis a math term?
Yes. It is used in geometry in relation to lines and graphs.
What is the difference between geometry and solid geometry?
The difference between regular geometry and solid geometry is that regular geometry deals with angles, measuring angles, and theorem/postulates. Solid geometry deals with shapes and multiple sided figures.
What is the difference between a plane geometry and a solid geometry?
one is plane and one is solid
How is geometry used by nurse practitioners?
Nurse practitioners use geometry to assess the patient's anatomy, such as observing the angles of body parts in relation to each other.
