Chapter I: Geometric
Figures: Definitions,
Properties, and
Relationships
CHAPTER
OBJECTIVES To build basic vocabulary of
geometric figures
To differentiate properties of
two- and three –
dimensional figures
To gain confidence in
identifying the relationships
between lines, planes,
GEOMETRY
Geometry is the study of space and
shapes in space. The word geometry
comes from the Greek word means
measurement of the earth (geo =
earth, metry = measure-ment).
Opportunities to engage
our students in Geometry
1. Model with Mathematics.
2. Use appropriate tools strategically
3. Look for and make use of
structure
UNDEFINED TERMS
WHAT ARE POINTS, LINES,
LINE SEGMENTS, RAYS, AND
PLANES?
• Point
• Line
• Line segment
• Ray
• Plane
Angles
1. Angle is the amount of rotation
(turning) at a fixed point.
Angles
2. To describe two rays (or lines, line
segments, or even planes) meet.
Measuring Angles and
Some Special Angles
We commonly measure angles in
degrees, which we indicate with a
degree symbol: ˚.
We define degrees in reference to one
full rotation, defined to be 360˚.
Measuring Angles and
Some Special Angles
Angles less than 90˚ are called acute
angles.
An angle of 90˚ is called a right angle.
Angles greater than 90˚ but less than
180˚ are called obtuse angles.
A 180˚ angle formed by a straight line is
often called a straight angle.

Perpendicular and Parallel
Lines
When two lines in a plane intersect,
they form four angle.
When all four angles are 90˚, we say that
the two lines are perpendicular.
Perpendicular and Parallel
Lines
Two lines in a plane that never intersect
are called parallel lines.
Supplementary and
Complementary Angles
Angles that add to 180˚ are called
supplementary angles.
Complementary angles are angles
that add to 90˚.

ofa. Lines
Theorem about the angles that are
produced when 2 lines meet.
b. Parallel Postulate, parallel lines that
are cut by another line.
c. Sum of the angles in a triangle
Postulate and Theorem
A postulate (or axiom) is a
mathematical statement that is
considered foundational and is simply
assumed to be true.
A theorem is a mathematical statement
that has been proven to be true by a
logical line of reasoning called proof.
How Are Angles Related
When Two Lines Cross?
Opposite angles
(vertical angles)
are produced
when two lines
cross.
How Are Angles Related
When a Line Crosses Two
Parallel Lines?
Corresponding
angles are
produced when a
transversal line
crosses two
lines.
How Are Angles Related
When a Line Crosses Two
Parallel Lines?
If parallel lines are
cut by a transversal
line, then the
corresponding
angles produced are
equal
