PLANE GEOMETRY is concerned chiefly with the study of the properties, sizes and shape
of figures all of whose points lie in the same plane. It deals with 2-D figures.
SOLID GEOMETRY is concerned primarily with the study of the properties, sizes and g. Points on the same line are said to be collinear.
shapes of figures all of whose points do not lie in the same plane. It deals with 3-D figures.
1.1 POINT
h. Midpoint is the point exactly halfway between two endpoints of a line segment.
1.3 ANGLE
An angle is a space formed by two rays called sides sharing a common endpoint called
vertex.
The term “polygon” is a combination of two Greek words, “poly” which means “many”
Examples of Regular or Irregular
If all angles are equal and all sides are equal, then it is regular, otherwise it
and “gonia” which means “angle”. It is a two-dimensional closed figure bounded by
is irregular
straight line segments.
A polygon always has as many angles as it has sides. And in general, polygons are
named to indicate the number of sides or angles they contain. Thus, a hexagon
has six ( hexa- means "six") sides and six angles.
Types of Polygons
Equilateral: A polygon in which all sides are equal in length.
Equiangular: A polygon in which all angles are the same size.
TRIANGLE is the simplest polygon since it has the least number of sides (3 sides). The
greek word for triangle is TRIGONON.
QUADRILATERAL
In Euclidean plane geometry, a quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides (or edges)
and four vertices or corners. This is a general term for a four-sided polygon.The
origin of the word "quadrilateral" are the two Latin words quadri, a variant of four,
and latus,meaning "side".A quadrilateral is also known as tetragon or quadrangle.
The common parts of a quadrilateral are described as follows:
1. SIDES: These are line segments joining any two adjacent vertices(corners). Parallelogram
2. INTERIOR ANGLES: An interior angle is the angle formed between two adjacent sides. In Euclidean geometry, a parallelogram is a simple quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. The
3. BASE: This is the bottom side that is perpendicular to the altitude. opposite or facing sides of a parallelogram are of equal length and the opposite angles of a
4. HEIGHT or ALTITUDE: It is the distance between two parallel sides of a quadrilateral. parallelogram are of equal measure.
5. DIAGONAL: This is the line segment joining any two non-adjacent vertices.

FORMULA :
Perimeter = 2(a +b)
Area = bh where b is the base and h is the height
Area = ab sinӨ where a and b are the sides of parallelogram and Ө is any interior angle
A rectangle is essentially a parallelogram in which the interior angles are all right angles.
A rhombus is a parallelogram in which all the sides are equal. Rhombus is all called P = 2b + 2h
A = bh parallelogram, rhomb, and diamond
Equilateral height d
equilateral parallelogram, rhomb and diamond. A rhombus with an interior angle of 45ᵒ is.
d = √𝒃𝟐 + 𝒉𝟐
sometimes called lozenge.

A square is a special type of a rectangle in which all the sides are equal.
Since all sides and interior angles are eqal, a square is classified as a regular polygon of
four sides.
A = a²
P = 4a
d = a √𝟐
