Geometrical Figures
Introduction
We observe different types of figures around us. They are in different shapes. In this chapter we will discuss about different types of geometrical figures such as line, angles etc.
Point
To show a particular location, a dot (.) is placed over it, that dot is known as point.
Example:
In the above figure point A represents\[\frac{1}{3}\], point B represents\[\frac{2}{3}\], and point C represents 1.
Line Segment
Line segment is defined as the shortest distance between two fixed points. For example
It is denoted as \[\overline{AB}\].
Example: How many line segments are there in the figure?
(a) 2 (b) 4
(c) 8 (d) 16
(e) None of these
Answer (c)
Ray
It is defined as the extension of a line segment in one infinitive direction. For example:
It is denoted as \[\overrightarrow{AB}\].
Example: How many rays are there in the given figure?
(a) 2 (b) 4
(c) 12 (d) 16
(e) None of these
Answer (c)
Line
Line is defined as the extension of a line segment infinitive in either direction.
Example: How many lines are there in the following figure?
It is denoted as
(a) 2 (b) 4
(c) 8 (d) 16
(e) None of these
Answer (a)
Angle
Inclination between two rays having common end point is called angle.
Angle is measured in degree. Symbol of the degree is "\[{}^\circ\]" and written as \[a{}^\circ ,\]
Where a is the measurement of the angle.
Types of Angle
There are different types of angles.
Right Angle
An angle whose measure is exactly \[90{}^\circ \] is a right angle.
Acute Angle
An angle whose measure is less than \[90{}^\circ \] is an acute angle.
Obtuse Angle
An angle whose measure is greater than \[90{}^\circ \] but less than \[180{}^\circ \] is a obtuse angle.
Straight Angle
An angle whose measure is \[180{}^\circ \] is a straight angle.
Reflex Angle
An angle whose measure is greater than \[180{}^\circ \] but less than \[360{}^\circ \] is a reflex angle.
Name the angle which measures exactly\[90{}^\circ \].
Answer: Right angle
Name the angle which measures between \[0{}^\circ \] and \[90{}^\circ \].
Answer: Acute angle
Triangle
The geometrical shapes having three sides are called triangle.
Triangle has been classified:
(a) On the basis of sides
(b) On the basis of angles
Sides Based Classification
On the basis of sides, triangle is of three types:
Equilateral Triangle
It is the triangle in which all the three sides are equal.
Isosceles Triangle
In this type of triangle two of the three sides are equal.
Scalene Triangle
In this triangle all the sides are unequal.
Angle Based Classification
On the basis of angles, triangles are of three types.
Acute Angled Triangle
A triangle whose all the angles are acute is called acute angled triangle.
Obtuse Angled Triangle
A triangle in which one angle is an obtuse angle is called an obtuse angled triangle.
Right Angled Triangle
A triangle in which one angle is \[90{}^\circ \] is called a right angled triangle.
PQR is a right-angled triangle as it contains a right angle
(\[\angle ~PQR\])
Name the triangle which has two equal sides.
Answer: Isosceles triangle
If the sum of two angles of a triangle is \[80{}^\circ \] the triangle is:
(a) Acute angled triangle
(b) Obtuse angled triangle
(c) Right angled triangle
(d) All of these
(e) None of these
Answer: (b)
Sum of two angles of a triangle is \[80{}^\circ \]
Therefore, third angle \[180{}^\circ -80{}^\circ =100{}^\circ \] which is an obtuse angle.
Quadrilateral
The geometrical figure having four sides is called quadrilateral.
Types of Quadrilateral
In this chapter we will study about two types of quadrilateral
(i) Rectangle (ij) Square
Rectangle
Rectangle is a quadrilateral in which:
(i) All angles are of\[90{}^\circ \];
(ii) Opposite sides are equal.
Square
Square is a quadrilateral in which:
(i) All angles are of \[90{}^\circ \]; (ii) All sides are equal.
How many angles of a rectangle are right angles?
(a) 1 (b) 2
(c) 3 (d) 4
(e) None of these
Answer (d)
How many sides a quadrilateral has?
(a) 1 (b) 2
(c) 3 (d) 4
(e) None of these
Answer (d)
Circle
Circle is a simple closed shape, whose all points are at the same distance from a given point in a plane.
Chord
It is the line segment joining two distinct points of the circle.
Diameter
The diameter is the length of the line through the center that touches two point on the edge of the circle.
Radius
Radius of a circle is half of the diameter.
In the above circle, 0 is the centre, OA, OB, and OC are radius, and DE is the chord of the circle.
If diameter of a circle is 25 cm, find the radius of the circle
Answer: \[Radius=\frac{25}{2}=12.5\text{ }cm\]
0 is the centre of a circle and P is the point on the line of the circle. Op is ........... of the circle.
(a) Radius (b) Diameter
(c) Chord (d) All of these
(e) None of these
Answer (a)
Cuboid
Cuboid is a box shaped solid object. It has six flat faces, which are rectangular in shape.
Cube
Cube is also a box shaped solid object with six faces, which are square in shape.
