Geometric Designs

North Coast Bohol Institute Inc. John Kevin Dave P. Reposposa


Learning Outcomes:
• Apply geometric concepts in describing and creating designs;
and
• Contribute to the enrichment of the Filipino culture and the
arts using the concepts in geometry.

In elementary geometry, a polygon is a plane figure that is bounded by a finite
chain of straight line segments closing in a loop to form a closed polygonal
chain or circuit.
These segments are called its edges or sides, and the points where two edges
meet are the polygon’s vertices or corners. The interior of the polygon is
sometimes called its body.
An n-gon is a polygon with n sides (e.g., a triangle is a 3-gon). A polygon is a
two-dimensional example of the more general polytope in any number of
dimensions.

Geometric Solids are 3-Dimensional (or “3-D”) shapes –which means they have the 3
dimensions of width, depth, and height. Basic examples are spheres, cubes,
cylinders, and pyramids. But there are lots of others. Some geometric solids have
faces that are flat, curved, or both. Some have faces that are all the same shape.
Some have faces that are different shapes. But they all have 3 dimensions.

Solids come in 2 types: non-polyhedral and polyhedra.
Non-polyhedral describes any geometric solid that has any surface that is not
flat, like a sphere, cone, or cylinder.

Polyhedra describes a geometric solid that has all flat faces (but the faces
don’t have to be the same size or shape). Polyhedra must have at least 4
faces (but there is no limit to how many faces they can have). Some
examples of polyhedral are pictured below:

Some of the Polyhedra are called Truncated. Truncated means that
something is cut off. That is, the corners, called “vertices,” are cut off and
replaced with a new face. For example, a truncated cube has new
triangle shaped faces where the cube’s vertices were. The shape of the
original polyhedral will determine the shape of the new face in each
vertex.

Symmetry is the beauty of form arising from balanced proportions

Geometrical symmetry is of three types.


1. Reflectional Symmetry
2. Rotational Symmetry
3. Translational Symmetry

Reflectional symmetry is a kind of symmetry in which half of the image is exactly same as the
other half. That is, in reflectional symmetry, either left portion is the reflection of right portion or
the upper portion is the reflection of lower portion. In this type of symmetry, one can draw either a
horizontal or a vertical line across the image.

Reflectional symmetry is also known as reflection symmetry, bilateral symmetry, mirror symmetry
or mirror-image symmetry.

Rotational symmetry is a type of symmetry in which the image is rotated to a certain
degree about at axis(generally center)and still look same as previous.
Rotational symmetry does possess orders. When an image is rotated two times and
looks same, it is said to have rotational symmetry of second order. Similarly, if an image
is rotated three times and still is the same, then it possesses order three rotational
symmetry, and so on.

Translational symmetry is a kind of symmetry in which a particular
pattern or design is shifted from one place to another. That is, a type
of symmetry in which a object changes its place without rotation or
reflection.
The exact same image is found on another place, even the
orientation of the image is the same. In the image at the left, the
shape, size and orientation of the triangle is exactly the same. The
same triangle is drawn at another place. Therefore, the two such
triangles are said to have translational symmetry.
