Introduction

Shapes can be open or closed, and understanding their interiorexterior, and boundaries helps us describe and draw them correctly.

CISCE: Class 6

Definition: Closed Figures

The line or curve is continuous and creates a full boundary, trapping an area inside.

CISCE: Class 6

Definition: Open Figures

The figure has clear endpoints that don't meet up. You can walk from the "outside" to the "inside" without crossing a line!

CISCE: Class 6

The Three Regions of a Closed Figure

Interior (The Inside): The area completely enclosed by the figure. (The rooms in the house).

Exterior (The Outside): The entire area outside the figure. (The garden or street).

Boundary (The Fence/Wall): The line or curve itself that separates the Interior from the Exterior. (The foundation and walls).

Boundaries can be classified into two types:

  • Linear Boundary – A straight line boundary. (Square)

  • Curvilinear Boundary – A boundary formed by curves. (circle)

CISCE: Class 6

Key points Summary

  • Closed figures have no gaps; open figures do.

  • Linear boundaries use straight lines; curvilinear boundaries include curves.

  • Interior = inside; exterior = outside.
