    Study Notes

    Undefined Terms in Geometry

    • Three foundational concepts: point, line, and plane.
    • A point is represented visually as a dot, indicating a precise location with no size.
    • A line is a continuous set of points extending infinitely in two opposite directions, characterized by its straightness.
    • A plane is defined as a flat two-dimensional surface extending infinitely in all directions.

    Types of Lines

    • Intersecting lines meet at exactly one point; this point is their intersection.
    • Parallel lines are distinct in that they remain equidistant and do not meet, regardless of how far they are extended.
    • Perpendicular lines are a specific case of intersecting lines that create a right angle (90 degrees) at their intersection.

    Angles and Rays

    • An angle is formed by two rays, which share a common starting point known as the vertex of the angle.
    • The measure of an angle is determined by the amount of rotation from one ray to the other.

    Geometric Solids

    • A cone is categorized as a three-dimensional geometric solid.
    • It consists of a single point called the vertex, connecting to a circular base that expands outward.
