Diagonals of Polygon’s In geometry, a line segment joining two vertices of a polygon or polyhedron, when those vertices are not adjacent is known as Diagonal. Diagonals of Polygon’s A polygon’s diagonal’s are line segments, that joining from one corner to another corner. Formula for number of diagonals = n(n-3)/2 where n is number of sides or […]
Read More →Polygon – Interior and Exterior & Central Angles Interior angle of a regular polygon A regular polygon has all the interior angles same in measure, and all interior angles of polygon formed by each pair of adjacent sides. When a polygon has n sides n vertices and n interior angles. Interior angle = 1800 – Central angle […]

The vertices are said concyclic. The center of the circle is called circumcenter and radius of the circle is called circumradius. Definition: A Cyclic Quadrilateral is a quadrilateral, whose all four vertices […]
Read More →Triangle – Definition and Properties The origin of term “Triangle” from latin word tri (“Three”) and angulus means (“angles”). A “Triangle” is a simple closed curve or a three sided polygon. A triangle has three angles and three sides and three vertices. It is one of the basic shape in geometry. In Euclidean geometry any non-collinear, three points, determine a unique triangle. The triangle […]

Read More →Adjacent sides Two sides of any polygon that have a common vertex are called adjacent sides. In the triangle ABC sides AB and AC are adjacent sides as they meet a common vertex that is A. In the angle ABC sides AB and BC are adjacent sides as they meet a common vertex that is […]
Read More →Quadrilaterals – Definition – Properties The word “quadrilateral” has two Latin words quadri, a variant of four and latus meaning is “side”. What is a quadrilateral A quadrilateral is a polygon, with four edges or sides and four vertex or corners. Just like as a triangle is 3 sides polygon, […]
Read More →Vertex – Definition and Examples Vertex – Latin word Vertex meaning, “highest point”. What is Vertex? Vertex is a point where two or more rays or line segments are meet. When two rays or line segments meet, simply it is a corner, they form an angle. Definition: A vertex is a point on a polygon, where […]

These shapes can be drawn on paper and have length and width. We can measure length and […]
Read More →Geometry Introduction Geometry comes from the Greek meaning “Earth measurement”. Geometry is a branch of mathematics, and concerned with visual study of shapes, sizes, properties and patterns. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a Geometer. Geometry can be divided into: 1. Plane geometry 2. Solid geometry […]
