Difference Between Geometry and Measurement

Definitions
Geometry➦
Geometry (from the Ancient Greek: γεωμετρία; geo- "earth", -metron "measurement") is, with arithmetic, one of the oldest branches of mathematics. It is concerned with properties of space that are related with distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures.
Measurement➦
Measurement is the quantification of attributes of an object or event, which can be used to compare with other objects or events. The scope and application of measurement are dependent on the context and discipline.
Geometry➦
The mathematics of the properties, measurement, and relationships of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids.
Measurement➦
The action of measuring something
Accurate measurement is essential
A telescope with which precise measurements can be made
Geometry➦
A system of geometry
Euclidean geometry.
Measurement➦
The act of measuring or the process of being measured.

Measurement➦
The act or result of measuring; mensuration; as, measurement is required.
Geometry➦
The branch of mathematics dealing with spatial relationships.
Measurement➦
The extent, size, capacity, amount. or quantity ascertained by measuring; as, its measurement is five acres.
Geometry➦
A mathematical system that deals with spatial relationships and that is built on a particular set of axioms; a subbranch of geometry which deals with such a system or systems.
Measurement➦
The act or process of measuring;
The measurements were carefully done
His mental measurings proved remarkably accurate
Geometry➦
