Can you tell me ONE job on who use Geometry and how they use it?

Question

And it cant be a teacher Thanks!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Land surveyor, cartographer(map maker) or civil engineer.
A surveyor must locate points on the surface of the land (with angles and distances from known locations) and then use various geometric methods including triangulation, analytic geometry and trigonometry to be able to plot those points on a map.
This is a very good question for this category, and so far, I haven't seen any bad answers (and I bet you wont get any, unless they're jokes or flippant remarks!)

Answer 2

I use it almost every day. I'm an engineer for a fabrication company the machines we design often have sheet metal components. I use my highschool geometry to determine how to cut components from flat sheet of material that will be formed, or rolled into 3 dimensional shapes.

Surveyors also use geometry.

Carpenters

Welders and fitters

Lots of people that actually build or install equipment.

Draftsmen and computer graphics people, Printers, Layout peopl for art work, Architects, interior designers, Might be easier to name the ones that don't use geometry probably a smaller list.

The problem is that most teachers aren't aware of every day uses of things like geometry so they can't always give you a good answer when you ask (out of ignorance) "why do I need to know this?"

Answer 3

There are many to choose from. The builders of the pyramids used geometry and every construction engineer and architect since then has done so as well.

Answer 4

I used it this weekend to figure sq footage for new flooring in my house, sewing - same thing for curtains etc...I know it is hard to imagine but Geometry has been much more useful than algebra in my everyday life and accounting, my profession.

Example: I get 200 concrete invoices for a 340,000 tilt-up plant...you have to know geometry to figure if they overbilled you! Same with the carpet in a department store...will you be getting more invoices? My acoustical ceiling guys charge by the sq foot too! Everyday...how many yards are in 700 ft?

Answer 5

I can't name a single job, but can in fact tell you that throughout my life, I have encountered situations where that quadratic equation came in handy. Like, sewing and quilting, even cutting pieces of wood to build a hutch for my chickens.

Throughout life, I also learned to use algebraic principles to manage my finances, and calculating the value of one variable when I knew three were related...proportions.

trust me, I can't always pipoint exactly when, but I have had to use what I learned in algebra and geometry, throughout life.

Answer 6

anything in the construction business. from ship manufacturing to building construction, employees in these industries require a good knowledge of geometry to apply in their work, in particular engineers.

there are plenty of jobs that are related to geometry too, like physics scientists, plumbers (to calculate simple angles), engine construction etc

but i have to say that engineering/architechural jobs comes to mind immediately.

Answer 7

an architecht uses geometry to design straight precise structures and to create spatial objects that aren't in place yet, a construction worker uses geometry to level pieces of wood and metal.

Answer 8

architect....and you wouldnt believe how many everyday things that you do that require geometry...even something as simple as playing a game of pool could benefit from geometrical knowledge

Answer 9

Bicycle designers, to build the frame and determine the stability of a bicycle when ridden.... guitar builders, to determine neck angles, head angles, and proper fret placement... astronomers, to determine the location of extraterrestrial bodies...

Answer 10

Contractor. All they have is a set of blueprints. Have to use geometry to build it.
