What is the Greek root word for mathematics dealing with lines angles and solids?

The Greek root word for mathematics dealing with lines, angles, and solids is "geometria".

It's derived from the Greek words:

* "geo" meaning "earth"

* "metria" meaning "measurement"

So, literally, "geometry" means "earth measurement". This is because early geometry developed from the need to measure land for farming and construction.
