Geometry

       Geometry is the branch of Mathematics that deals with the properties of various geometrical shapes and figures.In Greek the word "Geometry" means "Earth Measurement".Geometry deals with the shape,size,position and other geometrical properties of various objects.Geometry is useful in studying space,architecture,design and engineering.

Basic Geometrical Concepts:

Point:

       A fine dot made with a sharp pencil may be taken as roughly representing a point. A point has a position but it has no length,breadth or thickness. It is denoted by the capital letters.
     Example:
                      ●            ●
                      A             B

Line:

       A line is traced out by a moving point. If the point of a pencil is moved over a sheet of the paper,the trace left represent a line. A line has length,but it has no breadth. A line has no end points. A line is named with  the small letters.   

 Ray:

          A ray has a starting point buy has no end point. The starting point is called the initial point.


Line Segment:

        Let AB be a straight line.
         Two points C and D are taken on it. CD is a part of AB. CD is called a line segment.
A line segment has two end points.

Plane:

         A plane is a flat surface which extends indefinitely in all directions. The upper surface of a table,the blackboard and the walls are some examples of planes.

Trigonometry

 Trigonometry is the one of the branches of mathematics which means the measurement of triangle. Trigonometric Ratios:   The side that is opposite to the right angle is called the Hypotenuse.  This is the longest in a right triangle. The side that is opposite to the angle 𝛳 is called the opposite side. The side  that runs alongside the angle  𝛳 and which is not the Hypotenuse is called the Adjacent side. Let 𝛳 be an acute angle  of a right triangle. Then the six trigonometric Ratios of 𝛳 and the trigonometric table are as follows,           Example:           Trigonometric Ratios of Complementary Angles  Let 𝛳 be an acute angle  of a right triang le. Then we have the following identities for the trigonometric rat ios of  Complementary angles,                                                      Sin   𝛳 = Cos ( 90⁰ - 𝛳 )                             Cos 𝛳 =    Sin   ( 90⁰ - 𝛳 )                              tan 𝛳 =  cot    ( 90⁰ - 𝛳

Algebra

The mathematical term "Algebra" was derived from the Arabic word 'al-jabr'  Indian mathematicians like  Aryabhatta , Bhrahmagupta, Mahavir, Bhaskara Ⅱ, Sridhara have contribute a lot to this branch of mathematics.         The Greek mathematician, Diophantus of Alexandria  had developed this branch to a greater extent. Hence he is called as "The father of Algebra"             Basic concepts of Polynomial: Monomial:                    An Algebraic expression that contains only one term is called a monomial.                        Examples:                                    2x², 3ab,81xyz                                                          Binomial:                    An Algebraic expression that contains only two terms is called a binomial.                          Examples:                                    x + y, 4a - 3b , l² -7m Trinomial:                   An Algebraic expression that contains only three ter

Angles

     Two rays starting from a common point from an angle. Types of angles: Acute angle:          An angle whose measure is greater than  0⁰ but less than 90⁰ is called an acute angle.                   Examples:                            15⁰ , 30⁰.      Right angle:              An angle whose measure is 90⁰ is called a right angle.   Obtuse angle:             An angle whose is greater than 90⁰ and less than 180⁰ is called an obtuse angle.                                     Examples:   100⁰ , 110⁰ , 140⁰  Straight angle:             When the rays of an angle are opposite rays forming a straight line, the angle thus formed is a straight angle and its measure is 180⁰ Reflex angle:             An angle whose measure is more than 180⁰ but less than 360⁰ is called a reflex angle. Complete angle:              An angle whose measure is 360⁰ is called a complete angle.
