Unlike decimals
Like decimals
Decimal numbers with the Decimal numbers with the
same number of decimal different number of decimal
places are called like places are called unlike
decimals. decimals.
To compare like decimals start from the left. Compare the digits that are at the
same place.
Example: 13.42 and 13.48
1=1
3=3
4=4
2<8
13.42 13.48
2.70 2.25
So 2 . 7 0 > 2 . 2 5
Using a shortcut to compare decimals
Instead of comparing digits that are at the same place, think of like decimals
as whole numbers. Then compare whole numbers.
Example : Compare 2 . 7 and 2 . 2 5 using the shortcut
70 102 9 110
110 102 70 9
Step1:Write in columns. Put decimal point one below the other so that digits in
the same place are one below the other.

POINTS TO REMEMBER
We have learnt:
❏ The concepts of triangles
❏ The different types of triangles on the basis of sides and
angles.

To enable students to-
❏ Understand the concept and parts of a circle.
❏ Learn to draw a circle with a compass.
CIRCLES
A circle is the collection of all the points in a plane which are at an
equal distance from a fixed point called the centre of the circle.
Parts of a Circle
3. Chord:
A line segment joining any two points on C D
7. Semicircle:
The diameter of a circle divides it into two Semicircle
Q
9. Arc:
A part of the circumference of the circle is P
11. Formulae:
Diameter = 2 x radius
Radius = ½ of diameter = ½ x diameter
DRAWING CIRCLES: A compass is used to draw circles.
∴∠UST = 135°
POINTS TO REMEMBER
We have learnt:
1. Right Angle:
An angle which looks like the corner
of a rectangular book or a door is
called Right Angle.
2. Straight Angle:
Two right angles make a straight
angle. A straight angle looks like a
straight line.
3. Acute Angle:
An angle that is less than a right angle is
an Acute Angle.
4. Obtuse Angle:
An angle more than a right angle and
less than a straight angle is called
obtuse angle.

NAMING AN ANGLE
In the figure given below, the rays DC and DE make an angle.
The name of the angle is ∠CDE or ∠EDC.
An angle can also be named by the vertex.
So, this angle can also be named ∠D.
The arms of this angle are DC and DE, and the vertex is D.

INTERESTING FACTS ON GEOMETRY:
❏ The word geometry comes from the Greek
words “geo” meaning earth and “metria”
meaning measure.
❏ A Greek mathematician named Euclid is
considered the “Father of Geometry”.
❏ Geometry that deals with flat shapes that can
be drawn on a paper (2D figures) is called
Plane geometry.
What we will learn - OBJECTIVE
To enable students -
● To recall basic concepts of geometry.
● To identify and differentiate the types of
lines.
● To develop an understanding of the
basic concepts.
POINT
A point shows an exact location. It has no length, breadth or
height. It is the basic unit of geometry. A point is represented by
a dot. It is usually named with a capital letter.
A
This is point A.
LINE SEGMENT
A line segment is the shortest distance and a straight path
between two points. It has a definite length. It is named by its
endpoints. The symbol for a line segment is .
This is line segment AB or BA.
A B
It is written as AB or BA.
LINE
A line goes along a straight path in both directions. It has no end.
Since a line is never-ending it has arrowheads on both sides. A line
has no definite length. A line is named by two points on it.
The symbol for a line is ↔
P Q
arrowhead
S T
B
P R
PARALLEL LINES
↔ ↔
CD and EF do not cross each other. The lines in a plane that never
meet and are always at an equal distance from each other are called
parallel lines.
C D
E F
RAY
A ray is a part of a line. A ray begins at a point and goes on
endlessly in the other direction. The direction is indicated by an
arrowhead. It has no fixed length. A ray is named by two points on
it.
The symbol for ray is .
This is ray RS. It is written as RS.
R is the starting point. The ray goes on in the direction of S.
