Vocabulary:
Point angles
Ray protractor
Centre Semicircle
Arc Chord
Radius Diameter
Circumference Perimeter
Square Rectangle
Point:
A point is an exact position or location on a plane surface. It has no
size, only position.
Line:
A line is a straight path extends in both directions infinitely.
Ray:
A part of a line with a start point but no end point.
.
Line segment:
A part of a line with two endpoints. We can measure the line segment
but not a ray or line.
. .
Intersecting lines:
If two lines cross each other at a point, they are called intersecting
lines. The point at which two lines intersect is called Point of Intersection.
. Point of Intersection
Parallel lines:
The lines on a plane that never meet and are always at an equal
distance from each other.
Perpendicular lines:
. 90o
Angles:
The common endpoint of the rays forming an angle is called the vertex
of the angle.
The two rays forming an angle are called the arms of the angle.
arm
vertex angle
B C
arm
While naming an angle, the middle letter is always the vertex of the angle.
Acute angle:
Ex:
45o
Right angle:
90o
Obtuse angle:
Ex:
120o
Straight angle:
180o
.
Reflex angle:
Ex:
210o
360o
Zero angle:
An angle measuring 0o is known as zero angle. In a zero angle, both the arms
are the same.
