Triangles, Quadrilaterals, and Parts of a Circle

In this topic, we learn to identify, describe, and classify triangles and quadrilaterals. We also learn about the parts of a circle.

Topic: Classifying Triangles

  • A scalene triangle has no congruent sides. An isosceles triangle has at least two congruent sides. An equilateral triangle has three congruent sides

  • An acute triangle has only acute angles (less than 90°).
    An obtuse triangle has exactly one obtuse angle (more than 90°).
    A right triangle has one right angle (equal to 90°)

Topic: Classify Quadrilaterals

  • A quadrilateral is a plane figure with four sides and four angles. We can classify quadrilaterals by the characteristics of their sides and angles

  • In a parallelogram, opposite sides are parallel and congruent and opposite angles are congruent. A rhombus is a parallelogram with four congruent sides

  • A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles. A square is a rectangle with four congruent sides

  • A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly two parallel sides

Topic: Parts of a Circle

  • A circle is the set of all points in a plane that are at the same distance from a given point, called the center of a circle. A circle is named by its center

  • Radius (plural radii) is a line segment whose endpoints are the center of a circle and any point on the circle respectively

  • Diameter is a line segment that passes through the center of a circle and whose endpoints lie on the circle

  • Chord is a line segment whose endpoints are any two points on a circle

  • An arc is a part of a circle named by its end points
