POINTS TO REMEMBER
- 1. A point determines a location. It is usually denoted by a capital letter.
- 2. A line segment corresponds to the shortest distance between two points. The line segment joining points A and B is denoted by AB.
- 3. A line is obtained when a line segment like AB is extended on both sides indefinitely; it is denoted by AB s ruu or sometimes by a single small letter like l.
- 4. Two distinct lines meeting at a point are called intersecting lines.
- 5. Two lines in a plane are said to be parallel if they do not meet.
- 6. A ray is a portion of line starting at a point and going in one direction endlessly.
- 7. Any drawing (straight or non-straight) done without lifting the pencil may be called a curve. In this sense, a line is also a curve.
- 8. A simple curve is one that does not cross itself.
- 9. A curve is said to be closed if its ends are joined; otherwise it is said to be open.
- 10. A polygon is a simple closed curve made up of line segments. Here,
- (i) The line segments are the sides of the polygon.
- (ii) Any two sides with a common end point are adjacent sides.
- (iii) The meeting point of a pair of sides is called a vertex.
- (iv) The end points of the same side are adjacent vertices.
- (v) The join of any two non-adjacent vertices is a diagonal.
- 11. An angle is made up of two rays starting from a common starting/initial point.
- Two rays OA u ruu and OB u ruu make ∠AOB(or also called ∠BOA ).
- An angle leads to three divisions of a region: On the angle, the interior of the angle and the exterior of the angle.
- 12. A triangle is a three-sided polygon.
- 13. A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon. (It should be named cyclically).
- In any quadrilateral ABCD, AB & DC and AD & BC are pairs of opposite sides.
- ∠A & ∠C and ∠B & ∠D are pairs of opposite angles.
- ∠A is adjacent to ∠B & ∠D ; similar relations exist for other three angles.
- 14. A circle is the path of a point moving at the same distance from a fixed point.
- The fixed point is the centre,
- the fixed distance is the radius and the distance around the circle is the circumference.
- A chord of a circle is a line segment joining any two points on the circle.
- A diameter is a chord passing through the centre of the circle.
- A sector is the region in the interior of a circle enclosed by an arc on one side and a pair of radii on the other two sides.
- A segment of a circle is a region in the interior of the circle enclosed by an arc and a chord.
- The diameter of a circle divides it into two semi-circles
