Are you up for a Geometry quiz on important geometry concepts? There are tons of questions and facts to look into. So, we’ve put together a collection of geometry trivia questions to help you review or brush up your knowledge around basic geometry, differential geometry, discrete geometry, algebraic geometry, geometric shapes, and so on!
Geometry Trivia
So let’s look at some geometry trivia and facts to get you warmed up.
- An obtuse triangle is a type of triangle where one of the internal angles measures more than 90 degrees.
- Euclidean geometry studies geometrical shapes and figures based on different axioms and theorems.
- A concave shape bends inwards. A convex one bends outwards.
- A plane is a two-dimensional object that extends indefinitely.
- A trapezoid trapezium is a flat, closed shape with four straight sides and one pair of parallel sides.
- An acute triangle is a triangle whose three sides are lesser than 90 degrees.
