Geometry is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a geometer.

Points

Points are considered fundamental objects in Euclidean geometry.

Lines

By Euclid's axioms, a line can be drawn from 2 points. Example through 2 points A and B, we can draw the line AB.

A---------------B

Lines of interest

Lines Definition Piture
Perpendicular linesTwo lines intecsect at a point to form an angle 90o
Parallell linesTwo lines do not intecsect each other
VectorLine with its direction

Angles

Two lines intersect at a point to form an angle between 2 lines . Example Line AB intersects line AC to form an angle A between 2 lines. Angle has a symbol . Angles are measured in degrees (o) or radians (Rad). Failed to parse (unknown function "\rad"): {\displaystyle \rad}

Example angle 90 degree is π radian

Geometric figures

Polygons

Polygons are shapes of < sides and include:

Polygon Definition Types
