Abstract: Abstract The Nile’s flooding in Egypt used to destroy landmarks and position markers,raising the need for reliable measurements and originating the development of geometry Geo-Гεω(for land) metry (for measure-μετρια).10 The Rhind Papyrus, which is in the British Museum, was written by an Egyptian priest named Ahmes about 1,800 B.C.E. It treats the measurement of planar regions and solids.
