Geometry is singular and should be followed by a singular verb ("is", "has")
geometry - noun, pl. geometries.
The mathematics of the properties, measurement, and relationships of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids. The Free Dictionary.
geometries - pl.
- "Three geometries were used to show this effect."
- "These geometries were chosen because they maximize detection capability."

Most dictionaries (such as http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/geometry) give the word as uncountable. In the original sentence, it is definitely not plural. The sentence is: The geometry [of objects] is known.
