INTRODUCTION:

  • Length:  The distance between the end points of a line segment.
  • Straight Angle: The angle whose measure is 180˚.
  • Right Angle: The angle whose measures is 90˚.
  • Reflex Angle: The angle whose measure is more than a straight angle (180˚) but less than one complete angle (360˚).
  • Revolution: The one complete turn made by two straight angles.
  • Acute Angle: An angle smaller than right angle is called acute angle.
  • Obtuse Angle: An angle larger than a right angle, but less than a straight angle.
  • Perpendicular: When two lines intersect and the angle between them is a right angle.
  • Scalene Triangle: A triangle having three unequal sides.
  • Isosceles Triangle: A triangle having 2 equal sides.
  • Equivalent Triangle: A triangle having 3 equal sides

    Nature of angles is the triangle Name
    Each angle is acute Acute angled triangle
    One angle is right angle Right angled triangle
    One angle is obtuse Obtuse angled triangle

    Classification of Quadrilaterals based on their properties: 

    Properties Name of the Quadrilateral
    Two pairs of parallel sides Parallelogram
    Parallelogram with 4 right angles Rectangle
    Parallelogram with 4 sides equal length Rhombus
    A rhombus with 4 right angle Square
