LINE AND
ANGLES
WHAT ARE LINES?
A line is a straight one-
dimensional figure, that
extends in the opposite
directions infinitely. A line can
be horizontal or vertical. It can
be drawn from left to right or
top to bottom.
TYPES OF
LINES
LINE SEGMENT
Line segment is a part of a line that has two
endpoints. It is the shortest distance between
two points and has a fixed length and can’t be
extended further.
EXAMPLE OF LINE SEGMENT:
• A triangle is made up of three
line segments joined end to
end
• A square is made up of four-
line segments
• A pentagon is made up of
five-line segments
RAY
A ray begins at one endpoint
and ends at infinity.

TYPES OF LINE BASED
ON INTERSECTION
• Intersecting Lines
• Bisecting Lines
• Perpendicular Lines
• Parallel Lines
• Transversal Lines
INTERSECTION LINE
Two or more lines which share exactly
one common point are called intersecting
lines. This common point exists on all
these lines and is called the point of
intersection.
EXAMPLE OF
INTERSECTING LINE
PERPENDICULAR LINE
The perpendicular lines are two lines that
intersect each other and the angle
formed between the two lines should be
equal to 90 degrees (right angle).
EXAMPLE OF
PERPENDICULAR LINE
PARALLEL LINE
Parallel lines are the lines that do not
intersect or meet each other at any point in a
plane. They are always parallel and are at
equidistant from each other. Parallel lines are
non-intersecting lines.
EXAMPLE OF PARALLEL
LINE
TRANSVERSAL LINE
A transversal line can be obtained by
intersecting two or more lines in a plane
that may be parallel or non-parallel.
EXAMPLE OF
TRANSVERSAL LINE
TYPES OF LINES BASED
ON STRUCTURE
• Straight Lines
• Curved Lines
• Zig-Zag Lines
STRAIGHT LINE
CURVED LINE
A curved line is a type of straight line with a
bent. In other words, it is a geometrical object
similar to the line having curvature.
ZIGZAG LINE
WHAT ARE ANGLES?
An angle is a form of geometrical shape,
that is constructed by joining two rays to
each other at their end-points. The angle
can also be represented by three letters
of the shape that define the angle, with
the middle letter being where the angle
actually is ([Link] vertex). Angles are
generally represented by Greek letters
such as θ, α, β, etc.
CLASSIFICATION OF ANGLES
Angles can be classified into
two main types:
• Based on Magnitude
• Based on Rotation
TYPES OF
ANGLES
SIX TYPES OF ANGLES
• Acute Angles
• Obtuse Angles
• Right Angles
• Straight Angles
• Reflex Angles
• Full Rotation
ACUTE ANGLE
When the angle is less than a right angle,
then it is called an acute angle. It
measures between 0 degrees to 90
degrees.
OBTUSE ANGLE
An obtuse angle is the opposite of an
acute angle. It is the angle which lies
between 90 degrees and 180 degrees
RIGHT ANGLE
A right angle is always equal to 90
degrees.
STRAIGHT ANGLE
A straight angle is 180 degrees
when measured.
REFLEX ANGLE
A reflex angle is an angle that is more
than 180 degrees and less than 360
degrees.
