Even the most basic concepts in geometry apply to a myriad of applications. For example, the inclination of a hill, the maximum tilt of a space shuttle before launch, and the path of a pool ball when it bounces off the side can all be expressed in terms of an angle. The tools of geometry are essential for understanding and problem-solving whenever a diagram or visual model applies.
