EuclidEuclid is often referred to as the "Father of Geometry." Although so little is known about his life and the dates and the places of birth and death, he is widely known to be the one who revolutionized the way people of his time thought about math. Now, Euclid is considered as one of the people who contributed to making the textbook for teaching Geometry. His work marks as one of the most influential works in the history of mathematics. In his work, Euclid's Elements, he works out the principles now known as Euclidean Geometry, with the "rules of the game," or axioms.

What are the principles of Geometry and do we use them?
The principles of geometry are axioms (postulates), proofs and definitions. In everyday life whether we know it or not, us humans uses these forms of basic principles of geometry to prove our calculations or reasoning. At the most basic level, geometric principles occurs all around us. Humans need the proofs and explanation in order to satisfy their curiosity. In some cases, the geometry found in nature has provided inspiration for man-made items. Simple ideas or occurrences allow humans to search for further developments and understanding of geometric principles and ideas.
Which principles of Geometry developed by Euclid aid plastic surgeons?
How?
How?
ProofsTo make calculations in plastic surgery, plastic surgeon are required to calculate and find the measure of the measure of their canvas, which is the human body and are to be precise about their measurements. in order to have exact an precise measurements, they are to use theorems an proofs to prove their calculations..

Axioms (Postulates)All plastic surgeons need something to base their surgery off of. Even with their prior knowledge of plastic surgery, they will have to have a set of rules, like in Geometry. Like how axioms apply in math to keep the language international, axioms of plastic surgeons keep the plastic surgery in the same form.
