Euclid's geometrical works helped develop geometry in many ways. Descartes contributed Cartesian Geometry. Riemann's contribution can be seen in the form of Riemannian Geometry.
How would the world be if Rene Descartes never discovered geometry?
Descartes did not discover geometry - he invented analytical geometry, which enabled mathematicians to use algebra to solve problems in geometry and geometry to solve problems in algebra. The world would be less developed than now, as would be the case with most discoveries.
