Here’s a simple note on Geometry 👇

Geometry

Definition

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with the study of shapes, sizes,
positions, angles, and properties of space.

---

Basic Concepts in Geometry

1. Point – Has no size, only position (represented by a dot).

2. Line – A straight path that extends infinitely in both directions.

3. Line Segment – A part of a line with two endpoints.

4. Ray – A part of a line that starts at one point and extends infinitely in one
direction.

5. Plane – A flat surface that extends infinitely in all directions.

---

Types of Angles

Acute angle → Less than 90°

Right angle → Exactly 90°

Obtuse angle → Greater than 90° but less than 180°

Straight angle → 180°

Reflex angle → Greater than 180° but less than 360°

Full rotation → 360°

---

Types of Triangles

By sides:
Equilateral → 3 equal sides

Isosceles → 2 equal sides

Scalene → All sides unequal

By angles:

Acute-angled → All angles < 90°

Right-angled → One angle = 90°

Obtuse-angled → One angle > 90°

---

Other Shapes in Geometry

Quadrilaterals: Square, Rectangle, Parallelogram, Rhombus, Trapezium.

Circle: A set of points equidistant from the center.

Terms: radius, diameter, chord, circumference, arc, sector, tangent.

---

Basic Geometric Properties

Sum of angles in a triangle = 180°

Sum of angles in a quadrilateral = 360°

Circle angle rules (e.g., angle in a semicircle = 90°).

---

Importance of Geometry

Used in construction, engineering, architecture, art, navigation, and design.

Forms the foundation for advanced mathematics and sciences.

---

⚡ In short:
Geometry is the study of points, lines, shapes, and space, helping us understand
and measure the world around us.

Do you want me to also prepare a summary table with diagrams (for quick
memorization)?
