Points distributed on a graph.

Line functions drawn on a graph.
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 lines | Two lines intecsect at a point to form an angle 90o | ![]() | |
Parallell lines | Two lines do not intecsect each other | ||
Vector | Line 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
- Acute angle , angle less than 90°
- Right angle , angle equals to 90° (1/4 vòng tròn);
- Obstuse angle angle greater than 90° and less than 180°
- Góc bẹt là góc 180° (1/2 vòng tròn).
- Góc phản là góc lớn hơn 180° nhưng nhỏ hơn 360°
- Góc đầy là góc bằng 360° (toàn bộ vòng tròn).
- Góc khối
- Đường phân giác
- Chia đôi một góc bằng compa và thước kẻ
- Góc đối đỉnh
