               Mathematics


               Lesson Note-1



               TOPIC: Introduction to lines and angles


               SUBTOPIC:   Points, line segment, line, ray, parallel lines, intersecting lines,
               angles, complementary angles, supplementary angles, adjacent angles, linear
               pair, vertically opposite angles.

                                    Definition                          Example
               Points                     A point is an exact          To locate the house of five friends on a
                                           position or location on a    map, we can name them as point A, B, C,
                                           plane surface.               D, E.
                                          A point is shown by a
                                           dot. It has no
                                           dimensions i.e. no
                                           length, breadth or width.
                                          It is usually denoted by a
                                           capital letter.



               Collinear points           Three or more points
                                           that lie on the same line
                                           are collinear points.




               Line  segment              A line segment
                                           corresponds to the
                                           shortest distance
                                           between two points.
                                          It has two end points.
                                          It has a fixed/definite
                                           length.
                                          The line segment joining
                                           points A and B is
                                           denoted by       .
