Question

what contribution to the field of geometry was made by rene descartes in the 17th century? select the correct answer from each drop - down menu. he developed analytical geometry which involves drop - down menu options: a coordinate system, repeating iterations, lines converging at a point

Explanation:

René Descartes is known for developing analytical geometry, and a key part of analytical geometry is the introduction of a coordinate system (the Cartesian coordinate system), which links algebra and geometry. "Repeating iterations" and "lines converging at a point" are not associated with his work in analytical geometry.

Answer:

He developed \boxed{analytical geometry} which involves \boxed{a coordinate system}
