Geometric concepts

As we all are very well aware that geometry is the one of the oldest branch of mathematics. It plays an important role in mathematics to solve various kinds of problem. The term “geometry” is comes from the Greek word “Geometron” which is formed by the combination of two word “Geo” and “Metron”. The word “Geo” refers to Earth and the word 'Metron' refers to measurement. The need of the  Geometric concepts was felt in several years ago when person realizes to measure their land when they want to sold or buy their land. The basic application of geometrical construction were made centuries before the mathematical principles on which construction were based and recorded.
In the basic concept of geometry we generally studied about the points, lines, planes, closed flat shapes and many others. These are the most basic concept of geometry that provides the helps in describing, designing and constructing any type of visible objects. In todays life, the concept of geometry used in various field like architects, engineers field, planning for constructing the buildings, bridges roads and many other geometrical architecture cal things. In the below we show you the some of the basic
Concepts of geometry:
A) Point: In geometry a point can be defined as a mark of point which has no length, no breath and no height. It occupies the position and location but no magnitude. This point helps in creating various other type of geometrical shape.
B) Line: The line can be defined as a distance between the two points. A line has no width. Usually a line refers as a straight line. (know more about icse board, here)
C) Line – segment: This line segment different form the line. In line segment, the part of a line with two definite end points is defined but in line these definite points are not define. These line segments are very helpful to form various geometrical shapes like square, rectangle and so on.
As like above there are other geometrical concept are defining in mathematics. Like interesting lines, parallel lines, perpendicular lines and so on. In the next session we are going to discuss Grade VII, Tessellations.
