GEOMETRY

• Geo- “earth’’• Metron- “measurement’’

-branch of matematics-Euclid- father of geometry

“There’s no royal road to geometry.’’ – Euclid, 300 BC

Geometry

SHAPES• 1 dimensional (a line)

• 2 dimensional (a plane)

• 3 dimensional (any object in the real world)

2D SHAPES DEFINITION• '2D' stands for 2-dimensional.• A 2D shape is any shape that has two

dimensions: •  width •  height

Division of shapes• Generally composed of straight line segments• Curved

Polygons-shapes with sides made of

straight lines -triangle, square, hexagon

Quadrilaterals-shape with four straight

sides.-square, rhombus,

rectangle, trapezium

Triangle -polygon with three angles

and three sides
