Topics in Basic Geometrical Ideas

1

1. Point

  • A point is the most basic idea in geometry. It marks an exact location.
  • A point has NO length, NO width, and NO thickness — it has no size at all.
  • It is represented by a tiny dot made with a sharp pencil tip.
2

2. Line Segment

  • A line segment is the SHORTEST path between two points.
  • It has two END POINTS — a definite start and a definite end.
  • It has a fixed, measurable length.
3

3. Line

  • A line is obtained when a line segment is extended infinitely in BOTH directions.
  • A line has NO end points — it goes on forever in both directions.
  • A line has no fixed length — it is infinite.

4. Intersecting Lines and Parallel Lines

  • INTERSECTING LINES: When two lines meet at exactly one common point, they are called intersecting lines. The common point is called the point of intersection.
  • Two lines can intersect at most at ONE point — they cannot cross each other at more than one point.
  • Real-life examples of intersecting lines: the letter X, crossing roads, adjacent edges of a notebook.
