Introduction

A Plane Figure is a closed, two-dimensional shape that exists entirely on a flat surface, like a piece of paper. We classify these figures based on the type of boundary they have: straight lines (Polygons) or a smooth curve.

  • A Polygon is any closed plane figure whose boundaries are straight line segments.
CISCE: Class 6

The Triangle

A triangle is the simplest polygon, defined by three straight sides and three angles.

Key Feature Description Notation
Sides It is bounded by exactly three straight line segments. `bar" AB "`, `bar" BC"`, `bar" CA "`
Angles It has three interior angles. ∠A, ∠B, ∠C
CISCE: Class 6

The Rectangle

A rectangle is a four-sided polygon where all four interior angles are right angles (90°)

.

Key Feature Description Notation
Sides It has four sides. The opposite sides are equal in length and parallel. `bar" AB "`=`bar" CD"`, `bar" AD "`= `bar" BC "`
Angles All four angles are equal to 90°. ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = ∠D
CISCE: Class 6

The Square

A square is a special type of rectangle where all four sides are equal in length.

Key Feature Description Notation
Sides It has four sides. All four sides are equal in length. `bar" AB "`=`bar" BC"`= `bar" CD "`= `bar" DA "`
Angles All four angles are equal to 90°. ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = ∠D = 90°
CISCE: Class 6

The Circle

A circle is a perfectly round, closed curve where every point on the curve is the same distance from a central point.

Concept Definition and Relation
Center (P) The fixed point inside the figure from which all points on the curve are equidistant.
Radius (r) The distance from the centre (P) to any point on the circle. This distance is constant.
Rule The distance from the centre to any point on the circle is always the same:
CISCE: Class 6

Key Points Summary

  • Triangle: Three sides and three angles.

  • Rectangle: Four 90 angles, with opposite sides equal.

  • Square: Four 90 angles, with all four sides equal.

  • Circle: No straight sides, defined by its centre and Radius.
