3. The Elements
• Knowing that you can’t define everything and
that you can’t prove everything, Euclid began by
stating three undefined terms:
Point
(Straight) Line
Plane (Surface)
Actually, Euclid did attempt to define these basic
terms . . .
is that which has no part
is a line that lies evenly with the points
on itself
is a plane that lies evenly with the
straight lines on itself
4. Basic Terms & Definitions
• A ray starts at a point (called the endpoint)
and extends indefinitely in one direction.
• A line segment is part of a line and has
two endpoints.
A B AB
BA AB
5. • An angle is formed by two rays with the
same endpoint.
• An angle is measured in degrees. The
angle formed by a circle has a measure of
360 degrees.
vertex

6. • A right angle has a measure of 90
degrees.
• A straight angle has a measure of 180
degrees.
7. • A simple closed curve is a curve that we
can trace without going over any point
more than once while beginning and
ending at the same point.
• A polygon is a simple closed curve
composed of at least three line segments,
called sides. The point at which two sides
meet is called a vertex.
• A regular polygon is a polygon with sides
of equal length.

9. Quadrilaterals
• Recall: a quadrilateral is a 4-sided polygon. We can
further classify quadrilaterals:
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of
parallel sides.
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral in which both pairs of
opposite sides are parallel.
A kite is a quadrilateral in which two pairs of adjacent
sides are congruent.
A rhombus is a quadrilateral in which all sides are
congruent.
A rectangle is a quadrilateral in which all angles are
congruent (90 degrees)
A square is a quadrilateral in which all four sides are
congruent and all four angles are congruent.

11. Perimeter and Area
• The perimeter of a plane geometric figure
is a measure of the distance around the
figure.
• The area of a plane geometric figure is the
amount of surface in a region.

The height of a triangle is
measured perpendicular to the
base.

17. Ex: What is the perimeter of a
triangle with sides of lengths 1.5 cm,
3.4 cm, and 2.7 cm?
1.5 2.7
3.4
Perimeter = a + b + c
= 1.5 + 2.7 + 3.4
= 7.6
18. Ex: The perimeter of a regular
pentagon is 35 inches. What is the
length of each side?
Perimeter = 5s
35 = 5s
s = 7 inches

Recall: a regular polygon is
one with congruent sides.
19. Ex: A parallelogram has a based of
length 3.4 cm. The height
measures 5.2 cm. What is the area
of the parallelogram?
3.4
5.2
Area = (base)(height)
Area = (3.4)(5.2)
= 17.86 cm2
20. Ex: The width of a rectangle is
12 ft. If the area is 312 ft2
, what
is the length of the rectangle?
12 312 Area = (Length)(width)
L = 26 ft
Let L = Length
L
312 = (L)(12)
Check: Area = (Length)(width) = (12)(26)
= 312
21. Circle
• A circle is a plane figure in which all points are
equidistance from the center.
• The radius, r, is a line segment from the center of
the circle to any point on the circle.
• The diameter, d, is the line segment across the
circle through the center. d = 2r
• The circumference, C, of a circle is the distance
around the circle. C = 2πr
• The area of a circle is A = πr2
.
r
d
22. Find the Circumference
• The circumference, C,
of a circle is the distance
around the circle. C = 2πr
• C = 2πr
• C = 2π(1.5)
• C = 3π cm
1.5 cm
23. Find the Area of the Circle
• The area of a circle is A = πr2
• d=2r
• 8 = 2r
• 4 = r
• A = πr2
• A = π(4)2
• A = 16π sq. in.

26. Ex: Find the perimeter of the
following composite figure
+=
8
15
Rectangle with width = 8
and length = 15
Half a circle with diameter = 8
radius = 4
Perimeter of composite figure = 38 + 4π.
Perimeter of partial rectangle
= 15 + 8 + 15 = 38
Circumference of half a circle
= (1/2)(2π4) = 4π.
27. Ex: Find the perimeter of the
following composite figure

? = a
? = b

a 42
60 = a + 42 a = 18

28 = b + 12 b = 16
Perimeter = 28 + 60 + 12 + 42 + b + a
= 28 + 60 + 12 + 42 + 16 + 18 = 176

Area of triangle = ½ (8)(3) = 12
Area of figure

Area of rectangle = (4)(3.5) = 14

Diameter = 4 radius = 2
Area of circle = π22

The area of the figure
= area of rectangle – cut out area
= 14 – 2π square units.
30. Ex: A walkway 2 m wide surrounds
a rectangular plot of grass. The
plot is 30 m long and 20 m wide.
What is the area of the walkway?
20
30
2
What are the dimensions of the big
rectangle (grass and walkway)?
Width = 2 + 20 + 2 = 24
Length = 2 + 30 + 2 = 34
The small rectangle has area = (20)(30) = 600 m2
.
What are the dimensions of the small rectangle (grass)?
Therefore, the big rectangle has area
= (24)(34) = 816 m2
.
The area of the walkway is the difference between the big and small
rectangles:
20 by 30
Area = 816 – 600 = 216 m2
.

r = 5
Area of each
circle = π52
= 25π
¼ of the circle cuts
into the square.
But we have four ¼
4(¼)(25π ) cuts into
the area of the square.
Area of square =
102
= 100
Therefore, the area of the shaded region
= area of square – area cut out by circles = 100 – 25π
square units
r = 5
