What topic in mathematics would something fall under if you assumed a complex shape to be a more simple shape? Such as assuming a recliner is actually a cube, or a tree it actually a cone or prism, or a tire is actually a cylinder? Would this be topology, or something else? Simple geometry?

How is that physics?

It is not.

I do not think there is a specific mathematics that only deals with simplifying real world objects into geometric shapes.

The shape would fall under the category of mathematics.

If you think I am incorrect, then why do you not post the topic in mathematics that the OP is looking for?
Criticising other posters is useless unless you are going to furnish us all with correct information yourself.
