Geometry is the branch of mathematics in which we study different kinds of figures (dimensionless, one dimensional, two dimensional and three dimensional) and their properties. Questions related to geometry judge the visual ability along with the analytical skill of a candidate. The various types of shapes in geometry enable us to understand the different figures in mathematics as well as our day to day life objects. Also, with the help of different geometric terms, you can find the area, perimeter, angle, sides, volume and other parameters of a given shape. These topics are frequently asked in examinations like SSC JE, and SSC CGL, followed by banking exams like SBI PO, SBI Clerk, IBPS PO, IBPS Clerk, etc. In this article, you will learn about the key concepts of geometry followed by shapes like triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, circles, and their types with images. The topic also covers the basic geometry formulas followed by the advanced ones. Read the article thoroughly to clear all the doubts regarding the same. Branches of Geometry Let us start the discussion with the different branches of geometry and learn about each of them. Euclidean Geometry: Euclid’s geometry or the Euclidean Geometry deals with the study of geometrical shapes both two-dimensional and three-dimensional, along with the relation between these figures in terms of lines, and angles, congruence points, and surfaces. Euclid’s book on elements gave an introduction to axioms and different postulates for solid & plane figures that helped in describing geometric shapes. Non-Euclidean Geometry: As the name suggests, it is the branch of geometry that includes everything that does not fall under Euclidean geometry. It is also known as spherical geometry and hyperbolic geometry. Algebraic Geometry: It is a branch of geometry which deals with curves or surfaces and includes linear & polynomial algebraic equations that are used for solving the sets of zeros. Projective Geometry: Projective geometry is a branch of geometry that deals with the connections between geometric shapes that are a result of the projection of the object onto another surface. Discrete Geometry or Combinatorial Geometry: It is something that relates to the study of geometric objects which are discrete by nature such as lines, triangles, points, circles etc Differential Geometry: solving problems. tis related to general relativity in physics and uses algebra techniques and calculus for Topology: It deals with the properties of space under continuous mapping. It has applications in various fields such as metric spaces, initial & final structure, continuity, proximal continuity, proximal spaces ete.

Download Brochure Dimensions of Geometry In the previous header we saw the geometry basics branches, let us now understand the different dimensions of geometry in mathematics. In mathematies, objects can be categorised into no dimension objects, one-dimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. Non-Dimensional Geometry A point can be visualised as a single spot or a place on a plane. It is usually specified by a dot that has no real size or shape. Hence point geometry has no dimension or we can say that it has the only position, One Dimensional Geometry The line is straight and the briefest distance between two points. That is we can say that the number of points when connected makes a line geometry. As lines only possess length and no width, therefore it is counted in one- dimensional shapes/objects. The different types and terms related to lines are as follows: Types Definition Representation Straight Line A figure formed by joining two or more | lesibook collinear points is called a straight line —#—___e— The length of the straight line is not finite. A B Line Segment ‘When we join two fixed points by a [A testbook straight line, then the figure so formed is eee called a line segment. The length of a line segment is finite ie. it can be measured. Ray A straight line originating from one point @ testbook is called a ray. —_—___+— A BIntersecting Lines When two or more straight lines meet at a M testbook point then these lines are called b intersecting lines. (o.<— Point of intersection Transversal Lines A line is said to be transversal if it AM testbook intersects two or more lines. Transversal Parallel Lines A testbook ‘Two or more lines are said to be parallel lines if they do not intersect each other. Y => Perpendicular Lines Two lines are said to be perpendicular lines if the angle between them is 90°. _. Concurrent Lines ‘Two or more lines are said to be concurrent if they all pass through a fixed point. A testbook Point of concurrency Leam about Three Dimensional Geometry Angles and Types of Angles in GeometryWhen two rays originate from a fixed point, then the amount of rotation from one ray to another ray is called the angle between the rays or the angle between lines. The rays are called arms of the angle. Angles are generally measured in degrees or radians. The different types of geometry angles with their definition and representation are as follows: Types Definition Representation Acute Angle An angle whose measurement is between 0° @ testbook B to 90° is called an acute angle Here, 0° <2AOB<90° ° A Right Angle An angle whose measurement is 90° is called | ® testbook the right angle. A Here, ZAOB = 90° ° B Obtuse Angle An angle whose measurement is inbetween | festbook 90° to 180° is called an obtuse angle.
