BASIC GEOMETRICAL IDEAS
POINTS TO REMEMBER
• Line is straight and extends indefinitely in both directions.
• A line segment is a portion of a line. It has two end points and a definite length.
• A figure formed by two rays or line segments with same initial point is called an
angle.
• A simple closed curve made up entirely of line segments is called a polygon.
• A polygon having four sides is called a quadrilateral.
• A circle is the path of a point which moves in a plane so that it remains at a constant
distance from a fixed point in the plane.
• The distance around a circle is its circumference.
• A diameter is a chord passing through the centre of the circle.
