1. Etymology of Geometry
As an integral and essential branch of themathematics, andis responsible for analyzing the structure and the
eigenvalues of afigureconsidering various levels of complexity, starting from the
line. Its remote origin is related to the periodic flooding of the Nile River over the fields of
crop. This phenomenon of thenatureit made it necessary to precisely calculate the measurements of
various surfaces. Those who were dedicated to this task were the surveyors of Ancient Egypt.
In this context, the need to measure the land area to establish the boundaries of a vast
territory, of a cultivated field, of an urban center or of any other environment. Such possibilities
They are only possible from the determination of geometric parameters.
2. Geometry
Geometry is a branch of mathematics that is dedicated to the study of figures in a plane or
space. Thus, it analyzes its characteristics and measurements such as perimeter, area, and volume.
This discipline is responsible for studying, for example, thepolygonsWhat are two-dimensional figures?
consisting of several consecutive non-collinear segments, forming a closed space.
Another object of study in geometry is thepolyhedra, athese three-dimensional figures formed by
various faces that are, in turn, polygons.
Other elements of study in geometry are planes, lines (lines with infinite points),
semirays (a portion of a line that extends from one of its points to infinity), angles
(arcs formed from the intersection of two lines), curves (lines that change at some point)
direction) and segments (portion of a line limited by two points, with an origin and an end).
Geometry is a science with many applications and serves as a foundation for other fields of study such as
physics, geography, architecture, and topography (study of the Earth's surface). For example, we
it is used to calculate the dimensions of certain spaces or constructions. For that reason, this subject is
mandatory in basic education, both in primary and secondary.
3. Descriptive Geometry
Descriptive geometry is that branch of geometry that focuses on being able to represent a figure.
three-dimensional in a two-dimensional space. In this way, the goal is to graphically depict solids, such as
the polyhedra, on a plane.
Likewise, the concept of section is used, which is the intersection between a plane and a solid or element.
three-dimensional. To put it another way, let's consider when the layout of an apartment includes the
elements that are found within the bedroom. These might not be observable by the
existence of a wall or a door, for example.

Geometric forms considered primitive due to their basic constitution in the parts that make them up,
They are also known by the name of geometric primitives whose shapes are the Circle, the Triangle.
and the Square.
Gaspard Monge (May 9, 1746 - July 28, 1818) was a French mathematician, inventor of the
descriptive geometry. Monge is considered the inventor [citation needed] of descriptive geometry. The
Descriptive geometry is the one that allows us to represent three-dimensional surfaces of objects onto a
two-dimensional surface. There are different representation systems that serve this purpose, such as the
cone perspective, the system of dimensioned planes, etc. but perhaps the most important is the system
dihedral, which was developed by Monge in his first publication in the year 1799.
Descriptive Geometry is extremely important as it helps to delve into those aspects that
helps them understand the third dimension. Their work is especially based on the management of
fundamental concepts of localization and spatiality, such as the determinations of
orientation, slopes, true lengths, shapes, and shorter distances between points or elements,
to be applied to concrete problems in your profession at the moment you want,
example: when tracing a route.
It provides us with the opportunity to acquire this knowledge that will help you understand better the
concepts that will be handled throughout your career and in your professional life in the future.
9. Tools used for technical drawing
Drawing board:
It is a technical drawing instrument on which the paper is fixed to carry out the work. When tilted,
this board allows the T rule to move easily.
Usually, this technical drawing table is placed on a floor pedestal so that the board can be
rotated in different positions. Its height can also be adjusted. Additionally, there are options
laptops for those who do not have much space.
It is one of the main tools for technical drawing, so we recommend you take your time.
time to get the ideal board.
Rules:
There are two types of drawing rules that you should know:
• Rule T: it has two perpendicular arms and is used to draw horizontal parallel lines of
quick and accurate way. It is also used as a support point for the square.
• Graduated ruler: it is rectangular and flat. It is used to measure and draw straight lines. The most common ones are
30 centimeters.
• Scalimeter: it is a special technical drawing ruler whose cross-section is triangular,
with the aim of containing different scales in the same rule.
Squads:
They are used to measure and draw horizontal, vertical, inclined lines, and combined with the T-square it
They draw parallel, perpendicular, and oblique lines.
The triangles used in technical drawing are two:
• The one at 45º that has the shape of an isosceles triangle. It has an angle of 90º and two others of 45º.
• The 60º triangle or set square has the shape of a scalene triangle. Its angles measure 90º, 30º, and 60º.
Compass
Pencils are the basic element of technical drawing, without them there is no drawing.
The most used ones are made of wood or polymers, which are made up of a graphite core and a
wrapper of material that sharpens with a pencil sharpener.
Transporter
This technical drawing tool is used to measure or transfer angles. It comes in two formats:
semicircle divided into 180° and full circle of 360°.
Markers
Templates
They are used to draw standard shapes such as squares, hexagons, triangles, and ellipses. You
they will save time and provide greater accuracy in the drawing.
Within the tools of technical drawing, there are also curve rulers that allow for drawing.
well-defined curves.
Drawing support
You also have to consider the support on which you are going to draw. It is essential that the paper to be used is
highly resistant and suitable for the materials and technique to be used in your drawing project. In addition,
You must consider the type of paper to choose and the size or format.
Drawing papers
There are different types of paper for technical drawing. We summarize them into three main categories:
• Normal drawing paper: it is an opaque paper, similar to silk, that wrinkles when it is
moistened. It is usually used with pencils and markers. The marks of pencils can be
corrected to a certain extent with an eraser.
• Thick drawing paper: it is a sheet of thicker paper, but it also wrinkles when...
to become damp. It can be used with pencils and markers, with limitations for technical pens.
While pencil lines can be erased, it is quite difficult to erase ink without damaging it.
paper.
• Tracing paper or vegetable paper: it is a thick translucent paper that also comes in different types.
wrinkle when wet. It can be used with graphite pencils and technical pens. It is needed
some specific erasing tool, like a cutter or special erasers, to correct
the drawing strokes.
Eraser
Erasers are used to make incorrect marks, smudges, or excess strokes disappear.
In general, they are soft, flexible, and in light tones to avoid stains on the paper.
Plan holder
Once you have completed your drawing project, the safest and most functional option is to store it in a drawing board.
These elements will facilitate the transport of your creations and will protect them from scratches and humidity.

11. Types of Pencil (HB, F, H, B)
• Those with the letter H (which means "hard") draw fine gray lines. You can find the
4H, 3H, 2H, and H, which are the hard mine ones.
• Those with the letter B (which means 'black') draw thick lines in black.
find the B, 2B, 3B, and 4B which are the softer mines.
• The one with the HB mark, which is the intermediate grade and is also known in some countries.
as No. 2.
• The one with the letter F – Firm lead pencil, is the variant of HB leaning towards hard. Medium pencil with
benefits similar to HB.

The dihedral system is a method of geometric representation of spatial elements.
three-dimensional on a plane, that is, the reduction of the three dimensions of space to two
dimensions of the plane, using an orthogonal projection onto two intersecting planes
perpendicularly.
Y Axis: The vertical axis is called the Y axis or the ordinate axis. Point O, where the two axes intersect, is the
origin of coordinates. The coordinates of any point P are represented by (x, y). The first
The coordinate is measured along the x-axis and is called the x-coordinate of the point or abscissa of the
point.
Axis Z: In the drawing, the Z axis is vertical, while the other two (X, Y) form a 90° angle with each other.
determining the horizontal plane (ground). Normally, the X-axis is at 120° to the Z-axis, while
the Y axis is at 150° from that axis.
Lateral plane: it is a plane perpendicular to the projection planes, but parallel to the lateral plane of
projection. Both in horizontal and vertical projection, the plane is observed as a line,
The true size is appreciated in the reference lateral projection.
