In this paper, new geometric inequalities are established in real Banach spaces. As an application, a new iterative algorithm is proposed for approximating a solution of a split equality fixed point problem (SEFPP) for a quasi--nonexpansive semigroup. It is proved that the sequence generated by the algorithm converges {\it strongly} to a solution of the SEFPP in
-uniformly convex and uniformly smooth real Banach spaces,
. Furthermore, the theorem proved is applied to approximate a solution of a variational inequality problem. All the theorems proved are applicable, in particular, in
,
and the Sobolev spaces,
, for
such that
