Lesson 30: Basic Concepts and Terms in Geometry

About the Lesson:

This lesson focuses on plane figures. Included in the discussion are the basic terms
used in geometry such as points, lines and planes. The focus of this section is the different
ways of describing and representing the basic objects used in the study of geometry.

Objectives:

In this lesson, the learners are expected to:

1. describe the undefined terms;
2. give examples of objects that maybe used to represent the undefined terms;
3. name the identified point(s), line(s) and plane(s) in a given figure;

Lesson Proper

A. Introduction to the Undefined Terms:

3
 In any mathematical system, definitions are important. Elements and objects must be
defined precisely. However, there are some terms or objects that are the primitive building
blocks of the system and hence cannot be defined independently of other objects. In
geometry, these are point, line, plane, and space. There are also relationships like between
that are not formally defined but are merely described or illustrated.

In Euclidean Geometry, the geometric terms point, line, and plane are all undefined
terms and are purely mental concepts or ideas. However, we can use concrete objects
around us to represent these ideas. Thus, these undefined terms can only be described.

Term Dimension Figure Description Notation
.
A  A point suggests an exact location in point A
space.
 It has no dimension We use a capital
Point 0 (no size) letter to name a point.
 Indicator of position or location.
 Does not occupy area
 No dimension
 Physical example: tip of a pen
 A line is a set of points arranged in a
row.
 Collection of continuous points that
extends indefinitely in both direction
 It is a one-dimensional figure.
 It does not have any width.
R V  Has infinite length line m or
Line 1 (length)  No thickness

 Any two points determine a line RV
That is, two distinct points are
contained by exactly one line.
 We use a lower case letter or any two
points on the line to name the line.
 Physical example: wire
 Set of points contained in a flat
surface and extends indefinitely in all
P directions plane PQR or
R  Commonly denoted as a closed four- PQR
Q

Plane  Has length, width but no thickness
2 (length  The following determine a plane:
and width) (a) three non-collinear points;
(b) two intersecting lines;
(c) two parallel lines; or
(d) a line and a point not on the line.
 We use a lower case letter or three
points on the plane to name the plane
 Physical example: paper.

Activity 4: "Walking by Faith"

The study of geometry is built upon the foundation of three basic figures- the point, the line,
and the plane. Although the point is the simplest of these basic figures, it is not possible to actually
define a point. You can only describe it as " an exact location in space". In the physical world, no
one has ever seen a point. The same is true of a line and plane. Since you cannot physically see
each of these geometric figures, is it wrong for you to believe them? Of course not! You simply
accept their definitions by faith. The same is true in your Christian walk. Your faith is built upon
the foundation of the teachings of Jesus Christ contained in the Bible. As a believer, you may not
completely understand basic doctrines such as the divine inspiration of the Bible or the new birth
of the believer. However, you must accept these truths by faith, realizing that Christian teaching
is built upon these fundamentals of faith. As a students do you agree or not? Why? Explain.

Activity 5: Making Generalization!

BASIC RELATIONSHIPS AMONG POINTS, LINES AND PLANES

The following statements describe some basic relationships among points, lines and
planes
1. Two points determine exactly one line.
.
a. Through two different points B and C
below, you can draw one and only one
line. In geometry, line means straight
line.

b. It is not possible to draw more than one straight line through given two points.
In the following illustration, there is only one straight line that passes through
points C and D. The other line is a curve line.

2. Three collinear points are contained in at least one

plane.
In the figure, points A, B, and C are collinear. They lie in
plane P, plane Q and plane R. In fact they can be contained
in an infinite number of planes.
3. Three non collinear points are contained in exactly one
plane.
In the figure, points D, E, and F are not collinear. They are contained
in exactly one plane P.

9
 4. The intersection of two distinct lines is a point.
In the figure, line m and line n intersect
and their intersection is point A

5. The intersection of two distinct planes is a

line.
In the figure below, planes P and Q intersect
and their intersection is line AB.

6. If two points are in a plane, then the line

containing the points is in the same plane.

If the two points A and B are in plane P,

then the line l which contains them lies also in
plane P.

7. A line and a point not on the line are

contained in exactly one plane.

In the figure, point A does not lie on line

BC. This point and line BC are contained in one
plane P. This is the same as saying they
determine exactly one plane P.
8. Two intersecting lines are contained in
exactly one plane.

Example:
Lines a and b which intersect at
point P are contained in exactly one plane
Q. There is no other plane that can
contain them.

9. If a line not contained in a plane

intersects the plane, the intersection is
a single point.
In the figure, plane P does not contain
line m. The intersection of line m and
plane P is a single point Q.

endpoints while a ray has only one endpoint and is extended endlessly in one direction. The
worksheets below will help you formulate the definitions of segments and rays.

Activity 3
Definition of a Line Segment
ABCD

AD is a line segment. The points A, B, C, and D are on line segment AD. In notation, we write

4. Line segment EQ consists of the points ____________________.

The line segment. A line segment is part of a line that has two
endpoints. We define a line segment ̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐵 as a subset of line ⃡𝐴𝐵 consisting of the
points A and B and all the points between them. If the line to which a line segment
belongs is given a scale so that it turns into the real line, then the length of the
segment can be determined by getting the distance between its endpoints.

_________________________________________

The ray. A ray is also a part of a line but has only one endpoint, and extends
endlessly in one direction. We name a ray by its endpoint and one of its points.
We always start on the endpoint. The figure is ray AB or we can also name it as
ray AC. It is not correct to name it as ray BA or ray CA. In notation, we write

or .
A B C

The points A, B, C are on ray AC.

However, referring to another ray BC , the point A is not on ray BC .

Remember:
Ray 𝐴𝐵 is a subset of the line AB. The points of 𝐴𝐵 are the points on
segment AB and all the points X such that B is between A and X.

We say:
AB is parallel to CD
𝐴𝐵 is parallel to CD
if the lines ⃡𝐴𝐵 and ⃡𝐶𝐷 are parallel.
𝐴𝐵 is parallel to ⃡𝐶𝐷
⃡ is parallel to CD
𝐴𝐵

Lesson 31: Angles

Prerequisite Concepts: Basic terms and set operation on rays

About the Lesson:

This lesson is about angles and angle pairs, and the angles formed when two lines are
cut by a transversal.

Objectives:
In this lesson, you are expected to:
1. Define angle, angle pair, and the different types of angles
2. Classify angles according to their measures
3. Solve problems involving angles.

Lesson Proper

We focus the discussion on performing set operations on rays. The worksheet below will help
us formulate a definition of an angle.

A. Definition of Angle

I. Activity
Activity 7
Definition of an Angle

The following are angles:

The following are not angles:

Which of these are angles?

How would you define an angle?

An angle is ___________________________________.

An angle is a union of two non-collinear rays with common endpoint. The

20
two non-collinear rays are the sides of the angle while the common endpoint is
the vertex.
II. Questions to ponder:

1. Is this an angle?

2. Why is this figure, taken as a whole, not an angle?

If no confusion will arise, an angle can be designated by its vertex. If more precision is
required three letters are used to identify an angle. The middle letter is the vertex, while the other
two letters are points one from each side (other than the vertex) of the angle. For example:

B
The angle on the left can be named angle A or angle BAC, or
angle CAB. The mathematical notation is ∠𝐴, or ∠𝐵𝐴𝐶, or ∠𝐶𝐴𝐵.

A C

An angle divides the plane containing it into two regions: the interior and the exterior of
the angle.

Exterior of ∠𝐴
Interior of ∠𝐴

B. Measuring and constructing angles

I. Activity
21
A protractor is an instrument used to measure angles. The unit of measure we use is the
degree, denoted by °. Angle measures are between 0º and 180º. The measure of ∠𝐴 is
denoted by m∠𝐴, or simply ∠𝐴.

Activity 8
Measuring an Angle

a) Construct angles with the following measures: 90º, 60º, 30º, 120º

b) From the figure, determine the measure of each angle.

1. EHC = ________ 6. CHB = ________ 11. BHE = _______

2. CHF = ________ 7. DHG = ________ 12. CHI = _______

3. IHA = ________ 8. FHI = ________ 13. BHG = _______

4. BHD = ________ 9. EHF = ________ 14. CHD = _______

5. AHG = ________ 10. DHI = ________ 15. BHI = ________

Exercise 9
Estimating Angle Measures

22
A. In the drawings below, some of the indicated measures of angles are correct and some are
obviously wrong. Using estimation, state which measures are correct and which are wrong. The
measures are given in degrees. You are not expected to measure the angles.

Discussion:

The three different types of angles are acute, right and obtuse angles. An acute angle
measures more than 0º but less than 90º; a right angle measures exactly 90º while an obtuse
angle measures more than 90º but less than 180º. If two lines or segments intersect so that they
form a right angle, then they are perpendicular. In fact, two perpendicular lines meet to form
four right angles.

Note that we define angle as a union of two non-collinear rays with a common endpoint. In
trigonometry, an angle is sometimes defined as the rotation of a ray about its endpoint. Here,
there is a distinction between the initial position of the ray and its terminal position. This leads to
the designation of the initial side and the terminal side. The measure of an angle is the amount of
rotation. If the direction of the rotation is considered, negative angles might arise. This also
generates additional types of angles: the zero, straight, reflex and perigon angles. A zero angle
measures exactly 0º; a straight angle measures exactly 180º; a reflex angle measures more than
180o but less than 360º and a perigon angle measures exactly 360º.

II. Question to ponder:

If ∠𝑀 is an acute angle, what are the possible

(3n -60)o values of n?

23
A. On Angle Pairs:

I. Definitions

Two angles are adjacent if they are coplanar, have common vertex and a
common side but have no common interior points.
Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 900.
Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measures is 1800.
Two angles form a linear pair if they are both adjacent and supplementary.
Vertical angles are the opposite angles formed when two lines intersect.
Vertical angles are congruent.

In the figure, ∠𝛼 and ∠𝛽 are vertical angles.

B. Angles formed when two lines are cut by a transversal.

I. Discussion

Given the lines x and y in the figure below. The line z is a transversal of the two lines. A
transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines. The following angles are formed when a
transversal intersects the two lines:

The interior angles are the four angles formed between the lines x and y. In the figure,
these are ∠𝐶, ∠𝐷, ∠𝐸, and ∠𝐹.

25
 The exterior angles are the four angles formed that lie outside the lines x and y. These
are ∠𝐴, ∠𝐵, ∠𝐺, and ∠𝐻.

The alternate interior angles are two interior angles that lie on opposite sides of a
transversal. The angle pairs ∠𝐶 and ∠𝐹 are alternate interior angles. So are ∠𝐷 and ∠𝐸.

The alternate exterior angles are two exterior angles that lie on opposite sides of the
transversal. In the figure, ∠𝐴 and ∠𝐻 are alternate exterior angles, as well as ∠𝐵 and ∠𝐺.

The corresponding angles are two angles, one interior and the other exterior, on the
same side of the transversal. The pairs of corresponding angles are∠𝐴and ∠𝐸, ∠𝐵 and ∠𝐹, ∠𝐶
and ∠𝐺, and ∠𝐷 and ∠𝐻.

II. Questions to ponder:

Use the figure below to answer the following questions:

1. If lines x and y are parallel and z is a transversal, what can you say about
a) any pair of angles that are boxed?

Remember:
When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal as shown, the boxed angles are
congruent. Also, corresponding angles are congruent, alternate interior angles are congruent
and alternate exterior angles are congruent. Moreover, linear pairs are supplementary, interior
angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary, and exterior angles on the same
side of the transversal are supplementary.

Lesson 32: Basic Constructions

About the Lesson:

This lesson is about geometric constructions using only a compass and straightedge.

Objectives:
In this lesson, you are expected to:
1. Perform basic constructions in geometry involving segments, midpoints,
angles and angle bisectors
2. Sketch an equilateral triangle accurately.

Lesson Proper
Using only the compass and straightedge, we can perform the basic constructions in
geometry. We use a straightedge to construct a line, ray, or segment when two points are given.
The marks indicated in the ruler may not be used for measurement. We use a compass to
construct an arc (part of a circle) or a circle, given a center point and a radius length.

Construction 1. To construct a segment congruent to a given segment

Given: Line segment AB:

 Construct: Line segment XY congruent to AB.

Construction 2. To construct an angle congruent to a given angle.

Given: ∠𝐴

Construct: ∠𝑊congruent to ∠𝐴.

Draw a circular arc (part of a

circle) with center at A and
cutting the sides of ∠𝐴 at
points B and C, respectively.

endpoint W.

centerW and radius AB, Set the compass opening to length BC.
intersecting the ray at X. 30
Construction 3. To construct the bisector of a given angle.

The bisector of an angle is the ray through the vertex and interior of the angle which
divides the angle into two angles of equal measures.

Given: ∠𝐴

Locate points B and C one on each side of ∠𝐴 so that 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐴𝐶. This can be done
by drawing an arc of a circle with center at A.

Construct: Ray 𝐴𝑋 such that X is in the interior of ∠𝐵𝐴𝐶 and ∠𝐵𝐴𝑋 = ∠𝑋𝐴𝐶

31
 Using C as center and any Ray 𝐴𝑋 is the
radiusr which is more bisector of ∠𝐵𝐴𝐶.
than half of BC, draw an
arc of a circle in the
interior of ∠𝐴.

The midpoint of a line segment is the point on the line segment that divides it into two equal
parts. This means that the midpoint of the segment AB is the point C on AB such that 𝐴𝐶 = 𝐶𝐵.
The perpendicular bisector of a line segment is the line perpendicular to the line segment at its
midpoint.

In the figure, C is the midpoint of AB.

Thus, 𝐴𝐶 = 𝐶𝐵.
The line ℓ is the perpendicular bisector of AB.

You will learn and prove in your later geometry lessons that the perpendicular bisector of a
segment is exactly the set of all points equidistant (with the same distance) from the two
endpoints of the segment. This property is the principle behind the construction we are about to
do.

Construction 5. To construct the midpoint and perpendicular bisector of a segment.

Given: Segment AB

Construct: The midpoint C of AB and the perpendicular bisector of AB.

As stated above, the idea in the construction of the perpendicular bisector is to locate two
points which are equidistant from A and B. Since there is only one line passing through
32
 any two given points, the perpendicular bisector can be drawn from these two equidistant
points.

Using center A and Using center B and radius Line PQ is the

radius r which is r, draw arcs crossing the perpendicular bisector of
more than half of two previously drawn AB and the intersection

The technique used in Construction 6 will be utilized.

Lesson 33: Polygons

Time:
2 hours

Prerequisite Concepts: Basic geometric terms

About the Lesson:

This lesson is about polygons. Included in the discussion are its parts,
classifications, and properties involving the sum of the measures of the interior and exterior
angles of a given polygon.

Objectives:
In this lesson; you are expected to:
1. Define a polygon.
2. Illustrate the different parts of a polygon.
3. State the different classifications of a polygon.
4. Determine the sum of the measures of the interior and exterior angles of a
convex polygon.

I. Lesson Proper
We first define the term polygon. The worksheet below will help us formulate a definition
of a polygon.

Activity 15
Definition of a Polygon
The following are polygons:

The following are not polygons:

35
 Which of these are polygons?

What is then a polygon?

A. Definition, Parts, and Classification of a Polygon

Use the internet to learn where the word “polygon” comes from.

The word “polygon” comes from the Greek words “poly”, which means “many” and “gon”
which means “angles.”

A polygon is a union of non-collinear segments, the sides, on a plane that meet at their
endpoints, the vertices, so that each endpoint (vertex) is contained by exactly two segments
(sides).

Go back to Activity 15 to verify the definition of a polygon.

Polygons are named by writing their consecutive

vertices in order, such as ABCDE or AEDCB or
CDEAB or CBAED for the figure on the right.

A polygon separates a plane into three sets of points: the polygon itself, points in the
interior (inside) of the polygon, and points in the exterior (outside) of the polygon.

Consider the following sets of polygons:

Set A

36
 Set B

Can you state a difference between the polygons in Set A and in Set B?

Polygons in Set A are called convex, while the polygons in Set B are non-convex. A
polygon is said to be convex if the lines containing the sides of the polygon do not cross the
interior of the polygon.

There are two types of angles associated with a convex polygon: exterior angle and
interior angle. An exterior angle of a convex polygon is an angle that is both supplement and
adjacent to one of its interior angles.

In the convex polygon ABCDE, A, B, BCD,

D, and E are the interior angles, while MCD
is an exterior angle.

Consecutive vertices are vertices on the same side of the polygon.

Consecutive sides are sides that have a common vertex. A diagonal is a segment joining non-
consecutive vertices.

In the polygon ABCDE, some consecutive vertices

are A and B, B and C.
Some consecutive sides are AE and ED ; AB and
BC
37
Some diagonals are AC and AD .
 The different types of polygons in terms of congruency of parts are equilateral,
equiangular and regular. A polygon is equilateral if all its sides are equal; equiangular if all its
angles are equal; and regular if it is both equilateral and equiangular.

Polygons are named according to the number of sides.

Name of Polygon Number of Sides Name of Polygon Number of sides
Triangle 3 Octagon 8
Quadrilateral 4 Nonagon 9
Pentagon 5 Decagon 10
Hexagon 6 Undecagon 11
Heptagon 7 Dodecagon 12

B. Questions to Ponder:

1. Can two segments form a polygon? If yes, draw the figure. If no, explain why.

2. What is the minimum number of non-collinear segments needed to satisfy the definition of
polygon above?

3. Why are the following figures not considered as polygons?

A. Learning about quadrilaterals

A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides.

Some special quadrilaterals

Trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of opposite sides parallel to each other. The
parallel sides are called the bases, while the non-parallel sides are called the legs.

If the legs of a trapezoid are congruent (that is, equal in length), then the trapezoid is an
isosceles trapezoid. Consequently, the base angles are congruent, and the remaining two
angles are also congruent.

Parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of opposite sides parallel to each other.

Discussion:
Properties of a parallelogram:
Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent.
Consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.
Diagonals of a parallelogram divide the parallelogram into two congruent triangles.
Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

A diagonal of a rectangle divides the rectangle into two congruent right triangles.
A diagonal of a square divides the square into two congruent isosceles right triangles.
Diagonals of a rectangle are congruent.
Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular.
Diagonals of a square are both congruent and perpendicular.

Summary
In this lesson, we learned about quadrilaterals and the different types of quadrilaterals.
We also learned about parallelogram and its properties.
Lesson 36: Circles

Prerequisite Concepts: Distance, angle measures

About the Lesson:
Students have been introduced to circles as early as Grade 1, and they may easily
recognize circles from a drawing, even without knowing how points on the circle are defined. This
lesson extends students’ visual understanding of circles by introducing them to its mathematical
definition. Definitions of terms related to the circle also developed.

Objectives:
In this lesson; you are expected to:
1. Define a circle and its parts.
2. Apply the definition to solve problems.

Lesson Proper:
A. Circles
I. Activity
Draw a point somewhere in the middle of a sheet of paper. Now, using a ruler, mark 20 other
points that are 5 cm from the first point. Compare your work with that of your seatmates. What
shape do you recognize?

52
You can probably recognize circles even when you were young. When you hear the word circle,
round shapes may come to your mind. Now, we will learn how circles are shaped this way. In the
activity above, you saw that points that points that are the same distance from a fixed point yields
a round shape.

Definitions: A circle is the set of all points that are the same
distance from a fixed point. This fixed point is called the
center of the circle. A segment drawn from any point on the
circle to the center is called a radius.

Note: A circle is named by its center. The circle at the right is

called Circle O.

II. Questions to Ponder

1. Why do all radii (plural of radius) of a circle
have the same length?
2. Which the following figures are circles?

3. Your grandfather told you that when he was young, he and his playmates buried
some old coins under the ground, thinking that these coins will be valuable after
several years. He also remembered that these coins were buried exactly 4 kilometers
from Tree A (see map) and 5 kilometers from Tree B. Where could the coins possibly
be located?

B. Terms Related to Circles

I. Activity

53
 On Circle O, segments AD, BF, CG, Find the measure of APB below.
and HE were constructed so that their
endpoints are points on the circle.
Measure each segment, and
determine which of these segments is
the longest.

The activity above introduced you to other parts of a circle.

A chord is a segment that connects any two points of a circle. AD, BF, CG, and HE
are chords of Circle O.
A diameter is a chord that passes through the center of a circle. BF is a diameter of
Circle O. It is the longest chord of a circle and it is twice the length of a circle’s
radius.
A central angle is an angle whose vertex is on the circle’s center, and whose sides
intersect the circle at two points. APB is a central angle of Circle P.
An arc is a portion of a circle determined by a central angle. Arc AB is an arc of Circle
P.

II. Points to Ponder

1. Determine whether each statement is true or false.

54
 a. Two radii always have the same length.
b. Two chords always have the same length.
c. All chords are diameters.
d. All diameters are chords.
e. All chords intersect at one point.
f. A radius is not a chord.
g. All diameters intersect at one point.

2. On Circle O,
a. name each radius.
b. name each diameter.
c. name each chord.
d. name each central angle.
e. name the arcs subtended by the central
angles in (d).

3. Using a compass, draw a circle whose radius is

5 cm. Then draw the following objects. Write
“impossible” if the object cannot be drawn.
a. One chord measuring 2 cm.
b. One chord measuring 10 cm.
c. One chord measuring 12 cm.
d. Three radii measuring 5 cm.
e. One central angle measuring 90.
f. One central angle measuring 135.
g. One arc subtended by an angle that measures 35.
h. Three adjacent central angles, each measuring 10.
