Key Topics to Revise

1

Measuring Line Segments

  • A line segment is a part of a line with two definite end points.
  • The length of a line segment is the distance between its two end points.
  • Comparing line segments by mere observation (just looking) is not reliable — two segments may look equal but have different lengths.
2

Angles – Right Angle and Straight Angle

  • When a clock's hand or any ray rotates, it forms an angle.
  • One complete turn is called 1 revolution (= 360°).
  • A right angle = 1/4 revolution = 90°.
3

Types of Angles – Acute, Obtuse and Reflex

  • Angles are classified based on their measure in degrees.
  • Acute angle: Greater than 0° but LESS than 90° (less than a right angle).
  • Right angle: Exactly 90° (= 1/4 revolution).
4

Perpendicular Lines

  • Two lines are perpendicular if they meet at a right angle (90°).
  • We write AB ⊥ CD to show AB is perpendicular to CD.
  • The perpendicular bisector of a line segment is a perpendicular line that passes through the midpoint of the segment.
