        Straight Lines and Curved Lines

        We draw shapes by using lines. The lines can be straight or curved.


        Straight Lines


        Lines which can be drawn by using a ruler or scale
        is called straight lines.



        Curved Lines

        Lines which are not straight are called curved lines. These lines can be

        drawn with a free hand.                                     Fact-o-meter

                                                                 made of straight lines, whereas circles

                                                                 and ovals are made of curved lines.


        Types of straight lines


        A straight line can be horizontal, vertical or slanting.

                 (Sleeping lines)                    (Standing lines)                     (Sloping lines)



         Observe the picture. Count the lines and fill in the table.
