Overview
Geometry is the branch of mathematics that studies shapes, sizes, and properties of figures and spaces. The word 'geometry' comes from Greek words 'geo' (earth) and 'metria' (measure). This chapter introduces the fundamental building blocks of geometry - points, lines, and planes - and explores Eucl
Key Concepts
Point
Point, Line, and Plane are the three fundamental building blocks of geometry that cannot be defined using simpler terms. A point has no dimensions (re
