Geometria

Geometria is an educational software application that runs on Windows and Linux for helping you visualize and solve problems in solid geometry via a graphic interface.

Portable tool

Gaining access to the utility’s features requires only opening the executable file (there’s no installation setup included in the process).
You may uninstall it by deleting the files that you have grabbed from the Internet. In addition, you can store it on portable media devices like USB flash drives and carry it with you.

Web-driven GUI

The program can be accessed via your web browser, be it Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer. It comes packed with several sample problems and solutions which can be opened via an Explorer-like panel. Plus, you are allowed to define new problems using the built-in editor and save them as documents.
Geometrical objects may be analyzed by rotating them to different angles. There’s also support for a multi-tabbed environment so you can switch between multiple geometrical figures with ease.

Define problems and solutions

Geometria gives you the freedom to create problems and provide an answer to them. You can save the problems and share them with the built-in Solver. The Solver is used for opening the problems and revealing the solution. You can playback the solution anytime.
There’s support for several figure manipulation tools that help you measure, draw upon, transform, rotate, view wireframe or labeled items, and print the objects. You may add various predefined objects, such as regular prism, regular pyramid, tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron.
You can perform drawings on the surface of a figure, make use of labels and variables (a variable is generated as a result of a measurement or calculation), work with a calculator that supports valid expressions with numbers, variables, operators, functions, and parentheses, and keep track of records with the aid of a built-in notepad.
What’s more, you are allowed to clear all records from the notepad, undo or redo your actions, edit problems using HTML markup, define the answer type (number, multiple choice, point set, segment set, fixed plane or condition plane), and save data to plain text file format.

An overall efficient utility

All in all, Geometria integrates a bunch of handy tools for helping you compose and solve geometrical problems, including figures such as pyramids, prisms or cubes. On the downside, the GUI cannot be described as highly intuitive and the learning curve is not smooth. However, you have the help manual for finding out details about the application’s capabilities.
