Points, lines and planes
Collinear and Coplanar points
Collinear Points – points on same line
Coplanar points – points on the same plane
Angles
An angle consists of two rays with a common end point (or, initial point).
 Each ray is a side of the angle.
 The common endpoint is called the vertex of the angle.

Triangles
Basic Properties
• The sum of three internal angles = 180
• External angles?
• Exterior angle is equal to sum of interior opposite
Side related properties
• Sum of any two sides is greater than the third side
• Difference of any two sides is lesser than the third side
• Side opposite the greater angle is greater
Classification
• On the basis of angles
• On the basis of sides

Cosine Rule
 If three sides of a triangle are given can you find the three angles of the
triangle?
