Geometric Figure - Defined as figure or area closed by a boundary which is created by
combining the specific amount of curves, points, and lines.

- Any point, line, segment, ray, angle, polygon, curve, region, plane,
surface, solid, etc. Formally, a geometric figure is any set of points on
a plane or in space.

Lines - Is a collection of points that continues forever in both directions.

 Horizontal line - A line that runs from left to right in a straight line is called a
horizontal line
 Parallel line - When two lines never meet each other, no matter how much
you extend them, then these two lines are said to be parallel
to each other.
 Perpendicular line - Lines that are at right angles (90°) to each other.
 Vertical line - A line that runs from top to bottom in a straight line is a
vertical line.
 Irregular curved - Similar to a line but doesn’t need to be straight.
 Inclined line - A shape having leaning area or part or has a slope.
 Arc line - A line or shape that is curved like part of a circle

Angles - is a combination of two rays (half-lines) with a common endpoint.

 Straight angle - An angle whose measure is 180 degrees. Thus, a straight
angle look like a straight line.
 Right angle - An angle whose measure is 90 degrees.
 Acute angle - An angle whose measure is less than 90 degrees.
 Obtuse angle - An angle whose measure is bigger than 90 degrees but less
than 180 degrees. Thus, it is between 90 degrees and 180
degrees.

Planes - is a flat, two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely far.

 Quadrilateral - A flat shape with four straight sides.
 Curved figures - Are closed by line-segments or by a curved line.
 Triangles - A closed figure consisting of three line segments linked end-to-
end.A 3-sided polygon
 Regular polygons - Is one in which all of the sides have the same length and all of
the internal angles are of the same magnitude.
Quadelateral
Square A flat shape with 4 straight sides where all sides have equal length.
Rhombus Is a parallelogram with four equal sides and opposite equal angles. It
can be a square, or if it has two acute angles and two obtuse angles,
it takes the shape of a diamond.
Rectangle Is a four-sided figure or shape with four right angles that isn't a
square.
Parallelogram Is a four-sided object that has parallel opposite sides.
Trapezoid Is a four-sided figure with two sides that are parallel.
Trapezium A quadrilateral with no parallel sides
