CHAPTER – 5
Understanding Elementary Shapes

The distance between the end points of a line segment is its length.
A graduated ruler and the divider are useful to compare lengths of line segments.
When a hand of a clock moves from one position to another position we have an
example for an angle.
One full turn of the hand is 1 revolution.
A right angle is ¼ revolution and a straight angle is ½ a revolution.
We use a protractor to measure the size of an angle in degrees.
The measure of a right angle is 90° and hence that of a straight angle is 180°.

An angle is acute if its measure is smaller than that of a right angle and is obtuse if its

A reflex angle is larger than a straight angle. a

Nature of angles Name

Each angle is acute Acute angled triangle

One angle is a right angle Right angled triangle

One angle is obtuse Obtuse angled triangle

Triangles can be classified as follows based on the lengths of their sides:

Nature of sides in the triangle Name

All the three sides are of unequal length Scalene triangle

Any two of the sides are of equal length Isosceles triangle


All the three sides are of equal length Equilateral triangle

Polygons are named based on their sides.

Number of sides Name of the Polygon

3 Triangle

4 Quadrilateral

5 Pentagon

6 Hexagon

8 Octagon

Quadrilaterals are further classified with reference to their properties.
