Geometry is the branch of mathematics concerned with shapes and spaces. It studies points, lines, planes, angles, and other geometric objects and relationships between them. Key concepts in geometry include lines, rays, line segments, planes, parallel and intersecting lines, perpendicular lines, angles, and the different types of angles such as right, acute, obtuse, and straight angles. A geometer is a mathematician who works in the field of geometry.
9. Parallel LinesParallel Lines
Lines do not intersect but are in the same plane . Lines
are parallel if they lie in the same plane, and are the
same distance apart over their entire length
10. Intersecting LinesIntersecting Lines
Lines meet at one point. Two lines are called
intersecting lines if they have a common point
the common point is called the point of intersection.
11. Lines form a right angle. A line is perpendicular to
another if it meets or crosses it at right angles (90°).

12. AnglesAngles
An angle is formed when two rays have the
same endpoint.
This endpoint is called the vertex.
The two rays that form the angle are called
sides.
13. There are four types of angles
Right angle
Straight angle
Acute angle
Obtuse angle
14. Right angle
A right angle is an internal angle which is equal
to 90°.
15. Straight AngleStraight Angle
If an angle’s measure is 180°, it is called a straight angle.
Straight angles are just lines with three points on them.
16. Acute Angles
An acute angle is an angle whose measure is less
than 90°. For these kinds of angles, a square could not
fit perfectly at the intersection of the two lines that form
them.
