1 - Sketching Geometric Shapes

1. The document discusses how to sketch various geometric shapes including quadrilaterals like rectangles, squares, rhombi, trapezoids, and trapeziums as well as triangles like right, equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles. 2. It also discusses circles, ellipses, cones, pyramids, prisms, cylinders, spheres, and regular polygons providing details on their characteristics and components. 3. The goal is for students to be able to identify different geometric figures, trace patterns to create them, and appreciate their construction and development.

Sketching geometric shapes

After studying this module, students are expected to:

1. identify the different geometrical figures;

2. trace patterns and guides needed to create a geometrical shapes; and

3. appreciate the construction of the pattern development of geometric figures.

Sketching Geometrical Figures

Geometric figures can be defined as a figure or area closed by a boundary which is


created by combining the specific amount of curves, points, and lines. It includes points, lines
and angles; planes (circle, ellipse, rectangle, square, regular polygon, triangle etc); and solids
(cone, pyramid, cube, prism, sphere, cylinder, etc). All geometrical figures are rather imaginary
or invisible, but geometrical figures resemble real life objects that we can see everyday
(Example : A coin which resembles a circle or a ball that resembles a sphere, or a can of
sardines that represents a cylinder and so on.)
In geometry, any shape starts with a point and seemingly the movement of the point
produces a line and shapes.
In drafting, a pointed mark made by a pencil or drawing pen is assumed to be a point,
and an extension or prolongation of the pencil or pen point is a line,
If a line meets end-to-end, it produces a form or shape. The following lines and forms are
shown in visible figures so that they can easily be understood or interpreted.

QUADRILATERALS

● Quadrilateral – It is a four sided plane (Example: trapezoid, square, rectangle and


parallelogram)

● Parallelogram – A form of quadrilateral which two opposite sides are parallel (Example:
Square, rhombus and rectangle)

○ Rectangle – It has four right angles and the two of its opposite sides are equal
and parallel.

○ Square – It has four equal sides and four right angles.

○ Rhombus – It has four equal sides, but the angles are not right angle.

● Trapezoid – It is a quadrilateral with one of its two opposite sides are parallel and the
other opposite sides are not parallel and unequal in length

● Trapezium – It is a quadrilateral with no equal length in sides and no equal angles.


TRIANGLES

Triangles consist of three connected segments. It has four kinds: right triangle,
equilateral triangle, isosceles triangle, and scalene triangle.

● Right Triangle – It has an angle of 90 degrees.

● Equilateral Triangle – All sides and angles are equal.

● Isosceles Triangle – two of its sides are equal

● Scalene Triangle – None of its sides are equal.

CIRCLE

A circle is a shape which has no straight lines and a combination of curves that are
connected. Any point on this curve or circumference is equidistant from its center. The major
parts of a circle are the radius, diameter, circumference, chord and sector.

An ellipse is also a shape bounded by a curved line but without a common center. It has
a major and minor diameter. A circle seen below or above the eye level appears as an ellipse

A cone is a three dimensional figure or a geometric solid with a single circular base
tapering to an apex/vertex. If a cone is cut parallel to its base, the bottom portion is called a
frustum of the cone and the upper part is a smaller cone. If the cutting plane is oblique or
inclined, the resulting cone is truncated

A pyramid is a three dimensional solid figure with a polygonal base and lateral faces
that taper to an apex/vertex. The base of which is either square, triangular, rectangular, or
polygonal in shape. Like the cone, a pyramid can be cut to form a frustum or truncated pyramid.

A prism is also a three dimensional solid figure with a polygonal base that is either a
square, rectangle, triangular or any polygonal shape. A prism with a square-shaped base is
called a square prism. If the other five sides of a square prism are equal in size with its base,
the figure is called a cube.

A cylinder is also a three dimensional solid figure which has a circular base (but not
necessarily a perfect circle) and its sides are either vertical or inclined. A cylinder with a vertical
side is called an upright cylinder, while one with an inclined side is called an oblique cylinder. A
cylinder may be truncated in form.

A sphere is a three dimensional solid figure that consists of all points that are equidistant
from its center. All cross-sections of a sphere are circles.

A regular polygon is a geometric shape in which all sides are equal and the angles are
equal also. Some common polygons are the pentagon (5-sided), hexagon (6-sided), octagon
(8-sided), and decagon (10-sided).
