The Eiffel Tower is an important monument to the United States that symbolizes the freedom and democracy of the United States of America. If they didn't have Geometry they wouldn't have been able to make and put together the 350 pieces that the statue of liberty is made of.

The Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate bridge is a symbol of the power and progress in the United States. They needed geometry to know how to structure and to make the base structure even.

Stonehenge

Stonehenge is a monument that symbolizes the history between the British and Europeans. Without geometry the structures would be unbalanced and would probably fall over.

The Great Pyramid of Giza

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the largest Egyptian Pyramid and served as a tomb for pharaoh Khufu. Geometry was used to make sure each side was equal and wouldn't collapse.

Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal is considered to be the most beautiful building ever created. The Taj Mahal is considered to be a monument of love and a grieving emperor's ode to his beloved deceased queen. Geometry is involved because of the triangles, cubical, rectangle, and semi-circle were used to build it.

Great Sphinx of Giza

isabellapotter1 — 2024-11-08 15:47:50 UTC

The Great Sphinx of Giza is one of the world's largest sculptures and represents the pharaoh Khafre. Geometry was used to make sure that both sides of the sculpture were symmetrical.

Parthenon

isabellapotter1 — 2024-11-08 15:56:17 UTC

The Parthenon is a Greek monument that is dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena. They needed geometry to create a width to height ratio to get the vertical and horizontal proportions that make up the monument.

Sagrada Familia

isabellapotter1 — 2024-11-08 16:02:02 UTC

The Sagrada Familia is one of the most visited place in Spain. Geometry is used because of the use of rows, columns, and diagonals in which all constantly add up to the same sum.

The Eden Project

isabellapotter1 — 2024-11-08 17:21:39 UTC

The Eden Project is a huge green house. Geometry is used to create the globe because without geometry it would collapse. The pentagons and hexagons need to be a correct measurement so the sides of the globe are equal.

Farnsworth House

isabellapotter1 — 2024-11-08 17:29:58 UTC

The Farnsworth House is an iconic masterpiece of the International Style of architecture and has National Historic Landmark status. Geometry is used in the Farnsworth House because the person who created it used the golden ratio for it's design.

United Nations Building

isabellapotter1 — 2024-11-08 17:39:32 UTC

The United Nations Building is known for peacekeeping, peace building, conflict prevention and humanitarian assistance. Geometry is used because of the usage of the golden ratio.

Gateway Arch

isabellapotter1 — 2024-11-11 14:14:56 UTC

The Gateway Arch was used to commemorate Thomas Jefferson's vision of a transcontinental United States. Geometry is important to make sure the structure is even on both sides and won't collapse.

Louvre Pyramid

isabellapotter1 — 2024-11-11 15:49:00 UTC

The Louvre Pyramid is the world's most visited art museum. If it weren't for geometry the sides of the pyramid would not be equal.

Sydney Opera House

isabellapotter1 — 2024-11-11 15:49:47 UTC

The Sydney Opera House represents innovation in architecture and engineering. The Sydney Opera House uses parabolic, ellipsoid, and finally spherical geometry.

Burj Khalifa

isabellapotter1 — 2024-11-11 15:52:08 UTC

The Burj Khalifa is not only the world's tallest building but it's also an unprecedented example of international cooperation, a symbolic beacon of progress, and an emblem of the new, dynamic and prosperous Middle East. The Burj Khalifa consists of cylinders and other geometric shapes used in geometry.

Las Setas de Sevilla

isabellapotter1 — 2024-11-11 15:53:40 UTC

The Las Setas de Sevilla is a lesson in urban transformation. In the Las Setas de Sevilla the structure is made of geometrical shapes which are created using geometry.

Beijing National Stadium

isabellapotter1 — 2024-11-11 15:56:10 UTC

The Beijing National Stadium is the largest stadium in Beijing. The Beijing National Stadium has a very complex structure so its requires precise geometry.

Kuggen Building

isabellapotter1 — 2024-11-11 15:57:03 UTC

The Kuggen Building serves as an academic link between Lindholmen and companies in fields such as mobile data communications and media design. The Kuggen Building consists of triangles and other geometrical shapes.
