1. What is the euclidean geometry?Systematized by Euclid in 'Elements,' it forms the basis of classical geometry
2. What is the topological equivalence?A coffee mug and a donut are considered topologically the same
3. What are shapes and where can we see them?Shapes are the forms of objects around us, like the round ball you play with or the square window you look through. They help us understand and describe the world.
4. Why did ancient Egyptians use shapes?They used geometry to measure land after the Nile floods and to build big structures like the pyramids, showing a smart use of shape and proportion.
