Haryana Board Class 6 Maths Solutions For Chapter 4 Basic Geometrical Ideas
- The term ‘GEOMETRY’ is derived from the Greek word ‘GEOMETRON’.
- ‘Geo’ means earth and ‘metron’ means ‘measurement’.
- ‘Euclid’ is known as ‘Father of Geometry’. He introduced geometry in a logical order in the book ‘The Elements’..
- The ancient Indian Mathematician Aryabhata and Brahmagupta contributed their works in geometry.
- A ‘point’ determines a location. It is usually denoted by capital letters in English.
- A ‘line segment’ is formed by joining two points. It has a fixed length. A line segment has negligible thickness. It has two end points.
- A ‘line’ is obtained when a line segment extends on both sides indefinitely. It is denoted by small letters such as l, m, n etc.
- It has no end points.
- A’ray’ is a portion of a line starting at a point and goes in one direction endlessly.
- Eg: Ray \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AB}}\) Ray \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{CA}}\)
- By using divider and scale, we can measure the length of line segment.
- A figure drawn without lifting a pencil is called a ‘curve’. In this sense, a line is also a curve.
- Parallel Lines: The lines in a plane that never meet even if they are extended any further are called Parallel lines. Eg: The lines in your ruled book are parallel lines.
- If line l is parallel to line ‘m’, then it is denoted by l || m. It can be read as “l is Parallel to m”.
- Intersecting Lines: The lines that cross one another are called intersecting lines and the point at which they intersect is called intersecting point.

- Here ‘O’ is the intersecting point.
- Concurrent Lines: Three or more lines passing through the same point are called concurrent lines. The point is called point of concurrency.
- Perpendicular Lines: The angle between any two lines is 90° are called ‘perpendicular lines’: It is denoted by ⊥ (perpendicular).
- If line l is perpendicular to the line m then it is denoted by l ⊥ m and read as ‘I is perpendicular to m’.
- Angle: An angle in a figure formed by two rays with a common end point. The common end point is called ‘vertex’. The rays are the ‘sides or arms’ of the angle. It is denoted by ‘∠AOB’ read as angle АОВ.
Types of angles.
- We use a tool called “Protractor” to measure the given angle.
- Two rays with a common initial make two regions.
- The interior of an angle is the group of all the points between the rays of the angle.
- The exterior of an angle is the group of all points outside the rays of the angle.
- The simple closed figure formed by three line segments is called a triangle.
- The line segments are called sides.
- A triangle has three vertices, three sides and three angles.
- In triangle ABC
A, B, C are three vertices \(\overline{A B}, \overline{B C}, \overline{C A}\) are three sides ∠BAC, ∠ABC, ∠ACB are three angles. The triangle ABC is denoted by ΔABC.
- A triangle divides a plane into three parts
- Interior of the triangle
- Boundary of the triangle
- Exterior of the triangle
Eg. PQR is a triangle.
The points 0, B, S are interior of the tri- angle.
The points A, C are on the Boundary of the trianlge.
The points T, U, V are exterior of the tri- angle.
- A ‘simple curve’ is one that does not cross itself.
- Curves are of 2 types – open curve; closed curve
- A figure is a ‘polygon’ if it is a simple closed figure made up definite number of line segments
- A closed figure separates the plane into three parts.
- Interior (inside) of the figure.
- Boundary of the figure.
- Exterior (outside) of the figure.
- The interior of the figure together with its boundary is its ‘region’.
Eg. : ABCD is a closed figure formed by 4 line segments AB, BC, CD and DA.
Points P, Q are Interior of the figure, points R, S are on the Boundary line, points T, U are on the exterior of the figure.
- The interior of the figure together with its boundary is its region
