Overview
Geometry begins with basic building blocks such as points, lines, rays, line segments, and angles. A point shows a precise location. A line segment is the shortest path between two points. A line goes on forever in both directions, and a ray starts at one point and goes on forever in one direction.
Key Concepts
A point determines a precise location
A point determines a precise location, but it has no length, breadth, or height. It is named with a capital letter such as Z, P, or T.
A line segment is the shortest
A line segment is the shortest path from one point to another, including both end points. It can be written as AB or BA.
A line is a line segment
A line is a line segment extended endlessly in both directions. Any two points determine exactly one unique line.
A ray starts at one point
A ray starts at one point and continues endlessly in one direction. It is named using the starting point and another point on it, such as AP.
An angle is formed by two
An angle is formed by two rays with a common starting point. The common point is the vertex, and the rays are the arms. The vertex letter is always wr
