Geometric Fallacies

Geometric fallacies are errors in reasoning related to the properties of shapes and spaces. They occur when someone makes invalid assumptions or misapplies geometric principles, leading to false conclusions. For example, assuming two angles are equal without evidence or misjudging the area or distance due to incorrect proportional reasoning. These fallacies undermine logical arguments in geometry, often because of overlooked details or misinterpretations. Recognizing geometric fallacies helps ensure conclusions are based on sound reasoning, avoiding mistakes that can occur from faulty geometric logic or misapplied concepts.
