Geometry �is the study of two�
� three-dimensional
Ray�
dimensional shapes,
�
figures and all the various positions,
�
combinations, sizes and shapes they
�
�
Line�
can have. Geometry
deals
with
a sense
�
of space. It requires
people to reason
�
and problem-solve.
Geometry is found in
�����
everyday life, especially in art, science, �
�����
architecture, sports
and more.
An ancient Greek named Euclid is
�
��������������������Parallel�Lines�
known as the Father of Geometry. Much of
the geometry �studied by students is based
�
on his ideas. His ideas are very important
�
for further geometrical
studies in high
�
school and college.
�
There are �many important mathematical
terms to know� to be successful in
���������������Perpendicular�lines�
geometry. A ray
is part of a line. It has only
�
one endpoint, and it extends forever in one
� is a straight path of points
direction. A line
�
that continues on forever in two directions.
�
Lines are called
different things
�
depending on� their position in relationship
to other lines.� Two lines are parallel to
each other when
they stay the same
�
distance apart� and never cross. Two lines
����������������Intersecting�Lines�
are perpendicular
to each other when
they cross to form four right angles. Two
lines are intersecting lines when one line
crosses the other,
and they share a point.

Answer the following questions based on
the reading passage. Don’t forget to go
back to the passage whenever necessary
to find or confirm your answers.
1) Who is called the Father of Geometry?
