1. BASIC TERMS.
The great mathematician Euclid concluded that the point, the straight line and the
plane were three basic elements of the Geometry and defined them of the following
way:
A point is one of the basic terms in Geometry. We say that a point is a “dot” on a
piece of paper. We identify this point with a number or letter. A point has no length or
width.
A line is a “straight” line that we draw with a ruler on a piece of paper, a line
extends forever in both directions.
A plane is a flat surface with no thickness.
A line segment is a portion of a “straight” line. A line segment does not extend
forever, but has two distinct endpoints. We write the name of a line segment with
endpoints A and B as AB.

The term intersect is used when lines, ray lines or segments share a common
point. The point they share is called the point of intersection.
Examples: In the diagram below, line AB and line GH intersect at point D, line 2
intersects the circle at point P:
Two lines in the same plane which never intersect are called parallel lines. We
say that two line segments are parallel if the lines that they lie on are parallel.
Example: Lines 1 and 2 below are parallel.
Two rays with the same endpoint form an angle. The point where the rays
intersect is called the vertex of the angle. The two rays are called the sides of the angle.
Some examples of angles are:
We can name the angle below as B or even b, but it is better to name it as ABC or
as CBA. Note how the vertex point is always given in the middle.

3. LOCUS.
Locus is the set of all points that share a property. This usually results in a curve
or surface.

Other example: An ellipse is the locus of points whose distance
from two fixed points add up to a constant.
Line bisector is a line which cuts a line segment into two equal parts at 90°.
How does it construct?
Steps:
Place the compass at one end of line.
Adjust the compass to slightly longer than half the line length
Draw arcs above and below the line.
Keeping the same compass width, draw arcs from other end of line.
Place ruler where the arcs cross, and draw the line.

3.2. ANGLE BISECTOR.
The angle bisector is the locus of all such points which are equidistant from both
sides of the angle.

4. ANGLES.
Parts of an Angle
The corner point of an angle is called the vertex.
And the two straight sides are called arms.
The angle is the amount of turn between each arm.

To measure angles the degrees are used. We use a little circle ° following the
number to mean degrees. For example 90° means 90 degrees.
In the figure, we can see One Degree. This is how large 1 Degree is.

We often measure degrees using a protractor. The normal protractor measures 0°
to 180°.
Observe:
Lines are parallel if they are always the same distance apart and will never meet.
The red line is parallel to the blue line in both these cases:

When parallel lines get crossed by another line (which is called a transversal), you
can see that many angles are the same, as in this example:
These angles can be made into pairs of angles which have special names.
Some of those special pairs of angles can be used to test if lines really are
parallel:

5. POLYGONS.
Polygon comes from Greek. Poly- means “many” and -gon means “angle”.
Polygons are 2-dimensional shapes. They are made of straight lines, and the shape
is "closed" (all the lines connect up).
Regular Irregular
All the Exterior Angles of a polygon add up to 360°. So, each exterior angle must
360º
be (where n is the number of sides)
n
360
Exterior Angle =
n
Example: What is the exterior angle of a regular
octagon?
An octagon has 8 sides, so:
Exterior angle = 360°/n = 360°/8 = 45°

There are three special names given to triangles that tell how many sides (or
angles) are equal: Equilateral triangle, isosceles triangle and scalene triangle.
Equilateral Triangle
Three equal sides.
Three equal angles, always 60°.
Isosceles Triangle
Two equal sides.
Two equal angles.
Scalene Triangle
No equal sides.
No equal angles.
Triangles can also have names that tell you what type of angle is inside:

UNIT 9. GEOMETRY
Acute Triangle
All angles are less than 90°.
Right Triangle
Has a right angle (90°).
Obtuse Triangle
Has an angle more than 90°.
Quadrilateral just means “four sides” (quad means four, lateral means side).
So, quadrilateral is a polygon of four sides. There are special types of quadrilateral:
A square is a parallelogram that has four right angles and four equal sides.

A rhombus is a parallelogram that has four equal sides and equal opposite
angles. The two diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular.
A rhomboid is a parallelogram that has opposite sides that are parallel and
equal.

The diameter starts at one side of the circle, goes through the center and ends on
the other side. So the diameter is twice the radius.
Lines
A line that goes from one point to another on the
circle's circumference is called a chord.
If that line passes through the center it is called a
diameter.
If a line “just touches” the circle as it passes it is
called a tangent. And a part of the circumference is
called an arc.
Slices
There are two main “slices” of a circle
The “pizza” slice is called a sector.
And the slice made by a chord is called a
segment.

7. PERIMETER.
In a circumference:
Example: You walk around a circle which has a diameter of 100 m, how far have
you walked?
= 314.16 m
Also note that the Diameter is twice the Radius: Diameter = 2 × Radius
Circumference = 2 . π . Radius
