Interior Angles
60 each
sum of all angles is 180
90 each and sum of all angles is 3601.Its Opposite angles are equal
2.All angles are congruent.
3. Adjacent angles are supplementary (For eg., ∠A + ∠B = 180°).
1.Any two adjacent angles add up to 180 degrees i.e. supplementary (For eg., ∠A +
∠B = 180°).
2.Opposite angles are equal/congruent but angles can be 90 degrees in the special
case of a rhombus.
4. Sum of all angles is 360
1.Any two adjacent angles add up to 180 degrees.
sum of all angles is 360
2.Opposite angles are congruent.
One pair of diagonally opposite angles is equal in measurement. These angles are
said to be congruent with each other.
3.sum of all angles is 360
1.The angles on either side of the bases are the same size/measure (congruent).
2.Adjacent angles (next to each other) along the sides are supplementary. This
means that their measures add up to 180 degrees.
3.sum of all angles is 360
The Interior and Exterior Angle are measured from the same line, so they add up to 180°.
Interior Angle = 180° − Exterior Angle
We know the Exterior angle = 360°/n, so:
Other Properties

1.rectangle = as opposites sides are equal and Parallel. All angles are 90
2.A square is a special type of parallelogram whose all angles and sides are equal.
Also, a parallelogram becomes a square when the diagonals are equal and right bisectors
of each other.
3.Can be Rhombus
1.If one of the angles of a parallelogram is a right angle then all other angles are right and
it becomes a rectangle.
2.each diagonal divides the parallelogram into two congruent triangles.
3.Inside any quadrilateral (a 4-sided flat shape) there is a parallelogram (opposite sides
parallel and equal in length),When we connect the midpoints (the point exactly half-way
along a line) of each side of the quadrilateral, one after the other, we create a new shape
that has opposite sides parallel, even though the containing quadrilateral might not.
When all sides have equal length the Kite will also be a Rhombus.
When all the angles are also 90° the Kite will be a Square.
A Square is a Kite? Yes! So it doesn't always look like the kite you fly.
Like other quadrilaterals, the sum of all the four angles of the trapezium is equal to 360°

The "outside" circle is called a circumcircle, and it connects all vertices (corner points) of the polygon. The radius of the circum
The "inside" circle is called an incircle and it just touches each side of the polygon at its midpoint. The radius of the incircle is t

1. The surface area of a prism is the sum of the area of all its faces.
Surface Area of a Prism = 2 × (Area of the base shape) + (Perimeter of base
shape) × (d)
Surface Area = Area of base triangles + Area of side parallelograms
= 2 × (0.5 x b x h) + 2 × (l x s) + (l x b)
= bh + 2ls + lb
2.Volume of a Prism = (Area of base shape) × d
Volume of a prism is the amount of space inside.
Volume = Area of base triangle × length

Regular vs Irregular Pyramid
This tells us about the shape of the base. When
the base is a regular polygon it is a Regular
Pyramid, otherwise it is an Irregular Pyramid.

1.A cube is a special case box where all the sides are the same length.
Cuboid is a solid box whose every surface is a rectangle of same area or different
areas.
A box can be thought of a stack of rectangles L long and W wide piled on top of
each other to a depth of D.
A cone is a pyramid with a circular base with radius r and height h. The side length s
can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem.
1.A pyramid is also a three-dimensional (3D) shape. It has a polygon base and flat
(triangular) sides that join at a common point (called the apex).
2.In geometry, a tetrahedron, also known as a triangular pyramid, is a polyhedron
composed of four triangular faces. The tetrahedron is the simplest of all the
ordinary convex polyhedra and the only one that has fewer than 5 faces.
3.We often think of the famous pyramids in Egypt when the word ‘pyramid’ is
mentioned. The Egyptian pyramids are square-based pyramids, but there are
several other types of pyramids, each with a different polygon as its base.The cross
section of a geometric shape or an object is the shape obtained by cutting it
straight. It is also referred to as the intersection of a plane with the three-
dimensional object. The cross section of a Pyramid parallel to the base of the
pyramid is same as its base.
1.A prism is a shape withflat sidesa and it has two ends which are two identical
shapes facing each other. These identical shapes are called “bases”.
It has the same cross-section all along the shape from end to end; that means if
you cut through it you would see the same 2D shape as on either end.
2.The bases can be a triangle, square, rectangle or any other polygon.
3.Other faces of a prism are rectangles or parallelogram .
4.The prisms are polyhedrons or objects with multiple flat faces. A prism can not
have any side which is curved thus objects like cylinder, cone or sphere are not
prisms.
5.The cross section of a geometric shape or an object is the shape obtained by
cutting it straight. It is also referred to as the intersection of a plane with the three-
dimensional object. The cross section of a prism parallel to the base of the prism is
same as its base.
A figure has a base and parallel top face, each with 7 edges. How many faces does
it have?
First, if the base has 7 edges, there must be 7 side faces.
Next, since there is a parallel top face, you know this is a prism.
Then, you use the formula for calculating the number of faces in a prism:
n+2 (7+2)=number of faces=9

In geometry, an octahedron is a polyhedron with eight faces, twelve edges, and six
vertices. The term is most commonly used to refer to the regular octahedron, a
Platonic solid composed of eight equilateral triangles, four of which meet at each
vertex. A regular octahedron is the dual polyhedron of a cube. Wikipedia
Number of vertices: 6
Number of faces: 8
Number of edges: 12
