Figures Of Geometry

Introduction:

When i was in school, i was not a great fan of solving geometry problems but the figures of geometry always fascinated me however. Indeed my notebook used to be filled with geometric figures rather than geometric problems. This piece of writing is entirely dedicated to my fascination.

Geometrical figures:

Geometry is a very essential part of mathematics. It is basically a part of practical knowledge dealing with the study of lengths, areas and volumes. The basic figures of geometry are triangle, rectangle, square and circle.

Triangle is that shape of geometry which is formed with the intersection of three lines. It is a closed figure having three sides and three angles.Rectangle is that which is formed with the intersection of four lines. The opposite sides of a rectangle are equal and parallel.

Square like rectangle is also formed with the intersection of three sides but in a square all four sides are of equal length.

Circle is that shape which has a fixed point called the center and the the circumference is equidistant from the center.

So these are the basic shapes of geometry. I hope it will serve you as interesting.
