- A point determines a location. It is usually denoted by capital letters.
- A line segment corresponds to the shortest distance between two points.
- Two distinct lines meeting at a point are called intersecting lines.
- Two lines in a plane are said to be parallel if they do not meet.
- A ray is a portion of the line starting at a point and going in one direction endlessly.
- Any drawing done without lifting the pencil may be called a curve.
- A curve is said to be closed if its ends are joined; otherwise, it is said to be open.
- A polygon is a simple closed curve made up of line segments.
- The concept of vertex, vertices, adjacent sides, diagonals is explained.
- An angle is made up of two rays starting from a common starting/initial points.
- A triangle is a three-sided polygon.
- A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon. Different terms associated with quadrilateral also needs to be studied like opposite sides and angles, adjacent sides and adjacent angles.
- A circle is a path of a point moving at the same distance from a fixed point.
- A region in the interior of a circle enclosed by an arc on one side and a pair of radii on the other two sides is called a sector.
- A region in the interior of a circle enclosed by a chord and an arc is called a segment of the circle.
- The distance around a circle is its circumference.
- A diameter of a circle divides it into two equal parts; each part is a semi-circle.
