Study Notes

Curves

  • A curve is a plane figure formed by joining points without lifting a pencil and without retracing any part of the drawing except single points.
  • Curves can be open or closed, simple or not simple.

Regions

  • Interior: The region inside the boundary of a closed curve.
  • Exterior: The region outside the boundary of a closed curve.

Polygons

  • A polygon is a simple closed curve made of line segments.
  • Examples of curves that are polygons: triangles, quadrilaterals, etc.
  • Examples of curves that are not polygons: curves with curved sides.

Classification of Polygons

  • Polygons are classified by the number of their sides.
  • 3 sides → Triangle
  • 4 sides→ Quadrilateral
  • 5 sides → Pentagon
  • 6 sides → Hexagon
  • 7 sides -> Heptagon
  • 8 sides → Octagon
  • 9 sides → Nanogon
  • 10 sides → Decagon
  • n sides → n-gon

Diagonals

  • A diagonal is a line segment joining two non-consecutive vertices of a polygon.

Convex and Concave Polygons

  • Convex polygon: The measure of each interior angle is less than 180°. All diagonals lie inside the polygon.
  • Concave polygon: At least one interior angle is more than 180°. Some diagonals lie outside the polygon.

Regular and Irregular Polygons

  • Regular polygon: A polygon that is both equilateral (all sides equal) and equiangular (all angles equal).
  • Irregular polygon: A polygon that is not both equilateral and equiangular.

Angle Sum Property of a Triangle

  • The sum of all three angles of a triangle is 180°.

Angle Sum Property of a Quadrilateral

  • The sum of all four angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.

Properties of Trapezium

  • The interior angles on the same side of each of the non-parallel sides are supplementary.
  • If the non-parallel sides are equal, then it's an isosceles trapezium.

Properties of Kite

  • The diagonals are perpendicular to one another.
  • One of the diagonals bisects the other.
  • One pair of opposite angles are equal.

Properties of Parallelogram

  • Opposite sides are equal and parallel.
  • Opposite angles are equal.
  • Adjacent angles are supplementary.
  • Diagonals bisect each other.

Properties of Rhombus

  • All sides are equal.
  • Opposite angles are equal.
  • Adjacent angles are supplementary.
  • Diagonals bisect each other at right angles.

Properties of Rectangle

  • All angles are right angles (90°).
  • Opposite sides are equal and parallel.
  • Diagonals are equal.
  • Diagonals bisect each other.

Properties of Square

  • All sides are equal.
  • All angles are right angles (90°).
  • Diagonals are equal.
  • Diagonals bisect each other at right angles.
