Geometry 📐

Geometry is one of the oldest branches of mathematics, it concerned with the properties of space such as distance, shape, size and relative positioning of figures. A high level classification shall render the field into two categories. They are Euclidean geometry non-euclidean geometry. Euclidean geometry is primarily concerned with the fundamental notion of points, lines and planes.Non-Euclidean is mostly concerned with the study of surfaces which are not flat, straight lines are not usual in non-euclidean engagements ...Read More

Fundamental Objects of Geometry

Three fundamental objects of geometry includes point, lines and polygon, points are the most fundamental blocks of geometry.

Point

A point is a primitive notion that models an exact location in space and has no length, width or thickness. Points are the basic building blocks of every geometric figure, a point is represented in space by its spatial dimensions as (x,y).

Properties

1. No width or thickness 
2. No length
3. No centroid

Line Segment

A line segment is a line defined by two distinct points in space.

Properties

1. Length
2. Midpoint
3. Bearing

Line String

Line string is a one dimensional contiguous representation of line segments and the sequences of points connecting them.

Properties

1. Length
2. Midpoint
3. Bearing

Polygon

A plane figure that is bounded by a finite chain of line segment closing in a loop to form a closed chain.

Properties

1. Area
2. Centroid
3. Perimeter
4. Internal Angle
5. External Angle
