euclidean geometry
Euclidean geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of geometric objects and their properties based on five fundamental postulates put forth by Euclid. It primarily focuses on the relationships between points, lines, and shapes in a flat two-dimensional space, such as triangles, circles, and angles. Overall, it provides a framework for understanding and describing the basic principles and structures of the geometric world.
