Circle – Introduction A circle is a shape with all points at the same distance from its center. This distance is called the radius. Let’s break this down with diagrams and examples: Definition of a Circle Circle: A set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point, called the center. […]
Read More →Geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of shapes, sizes, properties, and the relationships between points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids. It is fundamental to understanding spatial relationships and plays a crucial role in various fields such as architecture, engineering, physics, computer graphics, and art. Here’s a detailed explanation of geometry […]

(1) Y-axis is Vertical and (2) X-axis is horizontal lines on a plane. In coordinate system, meaning of horizon is a straight line that is mapped from left to right. A […]

French Mathematician Rene Descartes trying to solve the problem of describing the position of a point on a plane with the Cartesian coordinate system and the cartesian plane. In Cartesian coordinate system, we derive a vertical and a horizontal line. When we […]

Cartesian Coordinate system, also called rectangular Coordinate system and used to position of points on a two dimensional or three dimensional plane. Let’s briefly learn about Cartesian Coordinate system. Cartesian Coordinate plane The plane is called Cartesian plane […]
Read More →Four Quadrants on a Graph We know that the two axes X and Y divided the plane into four sections. These four sections are called the Quadrants (one fourth section). The plane is called Cartesian plane or Coordinate plane or the XY plane. The plural of axis is axes. The quadrants are labelled with Roman numbers […]
Read More →History of Coordinate Geometry The Cartesian system or the rectangular coordinate system was invented in seventeenth century by Rene Descartes, the great French philosopher and mathematician. The coordinate system is also called the Cartesian system. Geometry was well developed to describe the dimension of an object, but it does not describe the position of an object. So, to […]
