Euclidean geometry, based on Euclid's axioms and postulates, is crucial for understanding shapes, angles, and surfaces. It includes theorems like the Pythagorean Theorem and concepts of congruence and similarity in triangles. Its applications span from engineering to technology, influencing various fields and contributing to the development of tools like CAD and navigation systems.
