The mathematician Euclid is traditionally credited with advising King Ptolemy that to truly understand plane geometry, he would need to study diligently. This anecdote highlights Euclid's emphasis on the importance of rigorous study and mastery of fundamental concepts in mathematics. Euclid's work, notably "The Elements," serves as a foundational text in geometry, illustrating principles through logical deductions.
No, Eratosthenes did not write "Elements" about plane geometry. He is known for his work in fields such as geography and astronomy, particularly his calculation of the Earth's circumference. The "Elements" was a mathematical work by Euclid that focused on geometry.
A line in Riemann's spherical geometry is called a great circle, which is the intersection of a sphere with a plane passing through its center. Great circles are the equivalent of straight lines in this non-Euclidean geometry.
The molecular geometry characterized by both 120° and 90° bond angles is known as trigonal bipyramidal. In this arrangement, three atoms are positioned in a plane at 120° angles to each other, while two other atoms are placed above and below this plane, forming 90° angles with the planar atoms. This geometry is typically seen in molecules with five regions of electron density around a central atom, such as phosphorus pentachloride (PCl₅).

A sketch plane refers to a flat surface in 3D modeling or computer-aided design (CAD) where a user can create 2D sketches. It serves as a reference for defining geometry, such as lines, arcs, and shapes, which can later be extruded or revolved into three-dimensional objects. The sketch plane can be oriented in various directions and is essential for accurately defining the features of a model.
No because in Geometry, a plane goes on infinitely. No because in Geometry, a plane goes on infinitely.
Two dimensional geometry is called "plane geometry" meaning that it occurs on a single surface or plane. The objects used in plane geometry are called plane figures.
An example is the Cartesian plane where coordinated geometry is plotted

Presumably it is simply geometry. However, plane geometry is geometry which is limited to objects with up to two dimensions, that is, objects that lie in a plane - or on a flat surface.
solid geometry deals with 3 dimensional figures while plane geometry deals with 2 dimensional.
