GEOMETRICAL DEFINITIONS.

GEOME

EOMETRY contains the Nature and Properties of Lines, Angles, Surfaces, and Solids.

A Point is that which has no Parts or Magnitude.
A Line is Length conceived without Breadth.

An Angle is the mutual Inclination of two Lines which

meet.

When a straight Line, as CD, (Fig. 4.) standing upon another, A B, makes the Angles, A D C, and C D B, on each Side equal to one another, each of these equal Angles is called a right Angle, and the dotted Line, C D, is said to be perpendicular to the Line A B.

An Angle is commonly expressed by three Letters, that placed at the Angular Point being always wrote in the Middle, as ADC (Fig. 4. denotes the Angle b.

An Obtuse Angle is that which is greater than a right Angle, as C A B, (Fig 3.)

An acute Angle is that which is less than a right Angle, as D C B, (Fig. 4.)

Parallel Lines are those of which every Point of the one is at the same Distance from the other, as the Lines A B and CD, (Fig. 2.)
