At Last, a Place to Use Your Geometry

Oct 5, 2023 | Presentation Skills

Ever wonder how you’d use your high school geometry? Try using it during a presentation to a large audience.

Your gaze focuses on a single point, but your angle serves as the tip of a triangle. Everyone in that triangular view will experience the feeling of you looking at them.

Now you’ll be able to tell your kids there is a use for geometry in the real world.
