 INTRODUCTION
 Geometric figures can be defined as figure or area
closed by a boundary which is created by combining
the specific amount of curves, points, and lines. It
include points, lines and angles; planes (circle,
ellipse, rectangle, square, regular polygon, triangle
etc); and solids (cone, pyramid, cube, prism, sphere,
cylinder, etc). All geometrical figures are rather
imaginary or invisible, but geometrical figures
resembles real life objects that we can see everyday
In drafting, a pointed mark made by a pencil or
drawing pen is assumed to be a point, and an
extension or prolongation of the pencil or pen point
is a line
QUADRILATERALS
 DEFINITION:
A quadrilateral is a
polygon having four sides,
four angles, and four
vertices. The word
‘quadrilateral’ is derived
from the Latin words
‘quadri,’ which means
four, and ‘latus’, which
means side.
 PARALLELOGRAM
A form of quadrilateral
which two oposite sides are
parallel (Example: Square,
rhombus and rectangle)
1. RECTANGLE – It has four
right angles and the two of
its opposite sides are equal
and parallel.
2. SQUARE – It has four
equal sides and four right
angles.
3. RHOMBUS – It has four
equal sides, but the angles
are not right angle.
TRIANGLES
 RIGHT TRIANGLE – It has
Triangles comprises
an angle of 90 degrees.
of three connected  EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE –
segments. It has four All sides and angles are
equal.
kinds: right triangle,
 ISOSCELES TRIANGLE –
equilateral triangle, two of its sides are equal
isosceles triangle,  SCALENE TRIANGLE –
and scalene triangle. None of its sides are equal.
CIRCLE
A circle is a shape which
has no straight lines and
a combination of curves
that are connected. Any
point on this curve or
circumference is
equidistant from its
center. The major parts of
a circle are the radius,
diameter, circumference,
chord and sector.
 ELLIPSE
An ellipse is also a
shape bounded by a
curved line but without
a common center. It
has a major and minor
diameter. A circle seen
below or above the eye
level appears as an
ellipse
CONE
 A cone is three dimensional
figure or a geometric solid
with a single circular base
tapering to an apex/vertex.
If a cone is cut parallel to
its base, the bottom portion
is called a frustum of the
cone and the upper part is
a smaller cone. If the
cutting plane is oblique or
inclined, the resulting cone
is truncated
 PYRAMID
A pyramid is a three
dimensional solid figure
with a polygonal base and
lateral faces that taper to
an apex/vertex. The base of
which is either square,
triangular, rectangular, or
polygonal in shape. Like
the cone, a pyramid can be
cut to form a frustum or
truncated pyramid.
