The distance betweenthe end pointsof a line segment is its length. A graduatedruler and the divider are useful to compare lengthsof line segments. When a hand of a clock moves from one position to another position we have an examplefor an angle. (Scroll down to continue …)

One full turn of the hand is 1 revolution.
A right angle is ¼ revolution and a straight angle is ½ a revolution. We use a protractor to measure the size of an angle in degrees.
The measure of a right angle is 90° and hence that of a straight angle is 180°.
An angle is acute if its measure is smaller than that of a right angle and is obtuseif its measure is greaterthan that of a right angle and less than a straightangle.
A reflex angle is largerthan a straight angle.
Two intersecting lines are perpendicular if the anglebetween them is 90°.
The perpendicular bisector of a line segmentis a perpendicular to the line segmentthat divides it into two equal parts.
Triangles can be classified as follows based on their angles:
Triangles can be classified as follows based on the lengths of their sides:
Polygons are namedbased on theirsides.
Quadrilaterals are furtherclassified with reference to their properties.
·We see aroundus many three dimensional shapes.Cubes, cuboids, spheres,
cylinders, cones,prisms and pyramidsare some of them.
