What is geometry ? Geometry (from the Ancient Greek: γεωμετρία; geo- "earth", -metron "measurement") is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a geometer.

Key Words Parallel Perpendicular Perpendicular bisector Angle bisector
Parallelogram Base Height
3
Planes A plane can be thought of as a two-dimensional flat surface, having length and width, but no height. A plane extends indefinitely on all sides and is composed of an infinite number of points and lines. One way to think about a plane is as a sheet of paper with infinite length and width.
4
Basic Geometry Terms Points Points A, B, and C
In geometry, we use points to specify exact locations. They are generally denoted by a number or letter. Because points specify a single, exact location, they are zero-dimensional. In other words, points have no length, width, or height. It may be helpful to think of a point as a miniscule "dot" on a piece of paper. Points A, B, and C
5
Lines Lines in geometry may be thought of as a “straight” line that can be drawn on paper with pencil and ruler. A Line is one-dimensional, having length, but no width or height. A line extends indefinitely in both direction.
6
Lines Segments line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct end points, and contains every point on the line between its endpoints.
7
Parallel Lines in same plane that never cross or intersect
They are marked using “arrows”
8
Perpendicular Lines that intersect at right angle (900)
They are marked using a small square
9
Perpendicular Bisect Bisect
Bi means “two” sect means “cut”. So, to bisect means to cut in two Perpendicular bisect A line that divides a line segment in half and is at right angles to it. Equal line segments are marked with “hash” marks
10
Draw a perpendicular bisector
A bridge over a river needs a perpendicular support under it. Draw the support in the middle of the bridge. (Create using compass, using a ruler and right triangles, and using paper folding.)
11
Angles An angle measures the amount of turn
12
parallelogram
13
Parallelogram => a four-sided figure with opposite sides parallel and equal in length Base => a side of a two-dimensional closed figure. Common symbol is B Height => the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side. common symbol is h
14
area
17
Area of parallelogram Kris has created a tulip garden in the shape of a parallelogram. he is going to plant 10 tulips per square meter of garden. kris’s garden has a base of 8m and a height of 5m. How much tulip does Kris need?
