Geometric Constructions
Points and Lines
A point represents a
location in space.
A line is the shortest
distance between two
points.
Angles
An angle is formed by
two intersecting lines.
Triangles
A triangle is a plane
figure bounded by three
straight sides.
The sum of the interior
angles is always 180.
Quadrilaterals
A quadrilateral is a plane figure bounded by four straight sides.
If the opposite sides are parallel, the quadrilateral is also a parallelogram.
Polygons
A Polygon is any plane figure bounded by straight sides.
If the polygon has equal angles and equal sides it can be inscribed in or circumscribed around
a circle and is called a regular polygon.
Circles and Arcs
A circle is a closed curve, all points of which are the same distance from a point called the
center.
