Explore geometry through hands-on experiments and practical problem‑solving.

This volume emphasizes discovering and applying geometric principles rather than just memorizing facts, helping students see how geometry fits into real work like surveying, planning, and design.

This edition presents principles determined through experiment, then explains how they fit with standard theorems. It blends historical context, guided activities, and worked examples to illuminate topics from straight lines and angles to polygons, circles, and areas. Features include exercises, measurement challenges, and methods used in surveying and engineering.

Step-by-step explanations of key principles and how to prove or apply them
Projects and exercises that connect geometry to real tasks like land division, area estimation, and plan curvature
Tools and methods used in the field, including area measurement and drawing techniques
Progression from foundational concepts to more advanced topics such as similar polygons and area calculation

Ideal for readers who want a clear, application‑driven introduction to plane geometry and for instructors seeking a ready framework for classroom activities.
