What Have We Discussed ?

1.The distance between the end points of a line segment is its .

2. A graduated ruler and the divider are useful to compare lengths of .

3. When we observe the hand of a clock moving from one position to another position, we have an example for an .

4. One full turn of the hand is 1 .

5. A right angle is of a revolution while a straight angle is of a revolution.

6. Thus, the measure of a right angle is ° and that of a straight angle is °.

7. A protractor is used for measuring the size(value) of an angle in the unit of .

8. An angle is acute if its measure is than that of a right angle and is obtuse if its measure is than that of a right angle and than a straight angle. A reflex angle is than a straight angle.

9. Two intersecting lines are perpendicular if the angle between them is °.

10. The perpendicular bisector of a line segment is a to the line segment and divides it into two parts.

Triangles can be classified as follows based on their angles:

Nature of angles in triangleType of Triangle
Each angle is acute angled triangle
One angle is a right angle angled triangle
One angle is obtuse angled triangle

Triangles can be classified as follows based on the lengths of their sides:

Nature of sides in triangleType of Triangle
All the three sides are of unequal length triangle
Any two of the sides are of equal length triangle
All the three sides are of equal length triangle

Polygons are named based on their sides

Number of sidesName of the Polygon
3
4
5
6
8

Quadrilaterals are further classified with reference to their properties

PropertiesName of the Quadrilateral
One pair of parallel sides
Two pairs of parallel sides
Parallelogram with 4 right angles
Parallelogram with 4 sides of equal length
A rhombus with 4 right angles
