Volume of Right Circular Cone – Formula – Word Problems – Solution
Volume of Right Circular Cone In figure A is called vertex, AO is height, OC is radius, and AC is slant height of cone. The height, radius, and slant height of the cone are usually denoted by h, r and l respectively. Volume of Right Circular Cone V = 1/3𝜋r2h […]

Angle – Definition – Geometry Definition: In plane geometry, angles are formed by two rays or lines called the arms or sides of the angle, sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle. Angle Symbol An angle is represented by symbol ∠ Angles are measured in degree, which is unit of angle using […]

Polygons – Classification We classify polygons to the number of side orvertices based they have. A polygon can be classified by it’s number of a sides and measure of angles. First, we classify by it’s number of a sides. Classified by measuring the sides The name of a polygon usually […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
