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.

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
Geometry that is not on a plane, like spherical geometry
Major contributions of the plato in geometers
In the field of geometry, Plato is most know for discovering five different three dimensional shapes. They are known as Platonic solids.
These are the 6 giants of Geometry Archimedes Plato Euclid Aristotle Pythagoras Thales
Plato's triangle, also known as the Platonic triangle, is significant in geometry because it represents the three basic elements of geometry: points, lines, and planes. It helps in understanding the fundamental concepts of geometry and serves as a foundation for more complex geometric principles.

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

The Plato triangle, also known as the equilateral triangle, is significant in geometry because all its sides are equal in length and all its angles are equal. This makes it a special type of triangle that has unique properties compared to other geometric shapes. Its symmetry and balance make it a fundamental shape in geometry and mathematics.
He created the math and geometry
