Introduction to Basic Geometry Concepts

This document introduces basic geometric concepts including points, lines, planes, segments, rays, and how to name intersections between geometric figures. It defines a point as a location represented by a dot and letter with no size, a line as a connected series of points extending indefinitely in both directions, and a plane as an infinite flat surface. Segments are parts of a line bounded by endpoints, and rays are parts of a line extending from an endpoint in one direction without end. It also explains intersections as shared points between crossing figures, parallel lines as those in the same plane never intersecting, and skew lines as those not lying in the same plane, not parallel, and not intersecting.

Introduction to Geometry:

Points, Lines, and Planes


Basic Geometric Figures

Point: Location in space represented


by a dot and a capital letter.
Points have no size, only position.
Example:
Basic Geometric Figures
Line: Connected series of points that
extends in both directions without end
(represented by arrows).
Lines can be named by any two
points on the line, or by one
lowercase letter.
Basic Geometric Figures

Plane: Infinite set of points forming a


flat surface extending in all directions,
represented by a four-sided figure.
Example:
Basic Geometric Figures

Segment: Part of a line bounded by


two endpoints.
Basic Geometric Figures

Ray: Part of a line that starts at a


certain (end)point and continues
forever in one direction.
Naming Geometric Figures

Intersection: The point shared by two


crossing figures.
Naming Geometric Figures

Parallel: Two lines in the same plane


that never intersect.
Represented by symbol “||”
(line 1 || line2)
Naming Geometric Figures

Skew: Two or more lines that do not


lie in the same plane. They are not
parallel and do not intersect.
Real Life Example

E
A 1. Find four segments
F that intersect AC.

2. Find three
FedEx segments || to AC.

3. Find four segments


skew to AC.
