Plane geometry – a plane is a flat, two dimensional surface that extends infinitely far. A plane is the two-
dimensional analogue of a point (zero dimensions), a line (one dimension) and three –dimensional space.
Solid geometry- solid geometry is the traditional name for the geometry of three-dimensional Euclidean
space. Stereometry deals with the measurements of volume of various solid figures including pyramids,
prisms, and other polyhedrons; cylinders; cone; truncated cones; and balls bounded by spheres.
When working exclusively in two-dimensional Euclidean space, the definite article is used, so,
the plane refers to the whole space. Many fundamental tasks in mathematics, geometry, trigonometry,
graph theory, and graphing are performed in a two-dimensional space, or, in other words, in the plane.
An angle is typically classified into four categories including acute, right, obtuse, and straight. An acute
angle is one which has a degree measurement greater than 0° but less than 90°. A right angle has a 90°
angle measurement. An obtuse angle has a measurement greater than 90° but less than 180°, and a straight
angle, which looks like a straight line, has a 180° angle measurement. Two angles are known as
congruent angles if they have the same measurement. If their sum is 90°, then they are said to be
complementary angles. If their sum is 180°, they are supplementary angles. Angles can be bisected
(divided into half) or trisected (divided by thirds) by rays protruding from the vertex.
When two lines intersect, they form four angles. The angles directly across from each other are known as
vertical angles and are congruent. The neighboring angles are called adjacent because they share a
common side. If the lines intersect such that each angle measures 90°, the lines are then considered
perpendicular or orthogonalln addition to size, angles also have trigonometric values associated with them
such as sine, cosine, and tangent. These values relate the size of an angle to a given length of its sides.
These values are particularly important in areas such as navigation, astronomy, and architecture.
The triangle, as its name indicates, has three angles. It also has three sides. This makes it the geometric
shape formed by the lowest number of sides and angles. There are many different types of triangles, but
the difference between them does not depend on their size or orientation but on the measurement of their
angles. One important fact is that the sum of all three angles measurement is always 180°. This is a
property that every triangle equilateral indicates that its three sides are equal in length. In equilateral
triangles, all three sides are equal; each has the same measurement. If we divide 180°by the triangle´s
number of sides to determine the three angles´ measurements, we will get 60°. Each of the equilateral
triangle´s three angles measure 60°. Scalene triangles is the opposite of the equilateral triangle. In scalene
triangles, all of the angles are different; each one has a different measurement. This characteristics makes
each of the triangle´s three sides have different measurements. Isosceles triangles have two equal angles
and one that is different. This makes the triangles have two equal sides and one different side as well. The
side that is different is located precisely between the equal angles.
Polygons
Polygons are 2-dimensional shapes. They are made of straight lines, and the shape is "closed" (all the
lines connect up).
Types of Polygons
Regular or Irregular
A regular polygon has all angles equal and all sides equal, otherwise it is irregular
Concave or Convex
A convex polygon has no angles pointing inwards. More precisely, no internal angle can be more than
180°.
If any internal angle is greater than 180° then the polygon is concave.
Simple or Complex
A simple polygon has only one boundary, and it doesn't cross over itself. A complex polygon intersects
itself. Many rules about polygons don't work when it is complex.
Names of Polygons

straight sides.
