Basic Geometrical Ideas

A point determines a location. It is usually denoted by a capital letter.


A line segment corresponds to the shortest distance between two points. The line

segment joining points A and B is denoted by and denote the same line
segment.
A line is obtained when a line segment like is extended on both sides
indefinitely; it is denoted by or sometimes by a single small letter like l.
Two distinct lines meeting at a point are called intersecting lines.
Two lines in a plane are said to be parallel if they do not meet.

A simple curve is one that does not cross itself.

A polygon is a simple closed curve made up of line segments. Here,

(i) The line segments are the sides of the polygon.
(ii) Any twoS sides with a common end point are adjacent sides.
(iii) The meeting point of a pair of sides is called a vertex.
(iv) The end points of the same side are adjacent vertices.
(v) The join of any two non-adjacent vertices is a diagonal.
An angle is made up of two rays starting from a common end point.
Two rays and make (or also called ).
An angle leads to three divisions of a region:
On the angle, the interior of the angle and the exterior of the angle.
A triangle is a three-sided polygon.
A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon. (It should be named cyclically). In any
quadrilateral ABCD, & and & are pairs of opposite sides. &
and & are pairs of opposite angles. is adjacent to & ;
similar relations exist for other three angles.
A circle is the path of a point moving at the same distance from a fixed point. The
fixed point is the Centre, the fixed distance is the radius and the distance around the
circle is the circumference.
A chord of a circle is a line segment joining any two points on the circle.
A diameter is a chord passing through the Centre of the circle.
A sector is the region in the interior of a circle enclosed by an arc on one side and a
pair of radii on the other two sides.
A segment of a circle is a region in the interior of the circle enclosed by an arc and a
chord.
The diameter of a circle divides it into two semi-circles.
