Geometry is the branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space.
Basic Concepts in Geometry
- Points are zero-dimensional objects that have no length, width, or height.
- Lines are one-dimensional objects that have length but no width or height.
- Planes are two-dimensional objects that have length and width but no height.
Important Theorems
- Pythagorean Theorem: For a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
- Thales' Theorem: If a triangle is inscribed in a circle, then the angle subtended by a chord at the center is twice the angle subtended at the circumference on the opposite side.
