Point A

• A point in geometry is a location. It has no size i.e. no width, no

length and no depth. A point is shown by a dot.
Examples:
1. Point A (Black) C
2. Point B (Red)
3. Point C (Yellow) D

4. Point D (Green)

B
Lines
• A line is defined as a line of points that extends infinitely in two
directions. It has one dimension, length. A line is defined by two
points and is written with an arrowhead. A part of a line that has
defined endpoints is called a Line Segment.
             A                                                                                   B
Example:
 Line AB
            A                                                         B
 Line Segment AB
Planes
• A plane extends infinitely in two dimensions. It has no thickness. An
example of a plane is a coordinate plane. A plane is named by three
points in the plane that are not on the same line.
Example:
 Plane ABC A

B
Rays
A ray starts out at a point and continues off to infinity. We can show
that by drawing an arrow at one end of the ray.
Example:
 Ray AB                          A                                              B
Intersecting Lines

• When we have lines, line segments, or rays that meet, or cross at a

certain point, we call it an intersection point. In other words, those
figures intersect somewhere.
Example:
 Line AC intersects Line BD A
D

B
C
Parallel Lines
• In geometry, parallel lines are lines in a plane which do not meet;
that is, two straight lines in a plane that do not intersect at any
point are said to be parallel.
C
Example:
 Line AD ll CB A

(Note that: ll = Parallel)

B

D
Colinear Points

• Collinear points means points that all lie in the same line, whether
they are close together, far apart, or form a ray, line segment, or
line.
Example:
A
 Points A-B-C are
colinear B

C
Coplanar Points
• Coplanar points are three or more points which lie in the same
plane. Recall that a plane is a flat surface which extends without
end in all directions.
Example:
§ Points A-B-C are A

coplanar B

C
