I would like to study engineering and advanced mathematics to make a career, so
learning to think in a mathematical way will help me pursue those kinds of
careers later. In Geometry I will learn how to apply different geometric
transformations such as, translations, dilations, rotations, and reflections of
objects that require basic geometric understanding along with algebraic
solving ,and other mathematical and technical skills that will help me in the

you still have transformations of figures apply to real-world scenarios. It’s interesting that we
about these will use many of the same formulas and reasoning that many mathematicians

architecture and objects we see today.
