Relation to Geometry
Without geometry plastic surgeons will not be able to perform surgeries without knowing where or how to rearrange and make adjustments to their patient's face. Plastic surgeons will be required to measure the area of one's face, calculate the distance, distinguish the angles and the lengths on their patient's face. Using points and lines on the face, body or any other human body part, plastic surgeons are to calculate where they are and how to stretch out the skin. All of these factors relate to the basics of geometry. |
