Geometry Fundamentals

Point: Represents a specific location in space with no physical dimensions such as length, width, or height.
Line: A continuous straight path that extends infinitely in both directions, composed of countless points and lacking any thickness.
Plane: A two-dimensional flat surface continuing infinitely in all directions, containing endless lines and no thickness.

Relationships and Definitions

Collinear Points: A set of points that all exist on the same straight line, illustrating geometric relationships.
Coplanar Points and Lines: Refers to points and lines that share the same flat surface (plane), facilitating concepts in geometry.
Space: Encompasses the entirety of points in three-dimensional form, essential for understanding spatial relationships.

Line Segments and Rays

Line Segment: A finite portion of a line characterized by two endpoints, including all intermediate points, representing measurable distance.
Ray: A part of a line originating from an endpoint and continuing infinitely in one direction, highlighting one-sided extensions of geometric figures.
Opposite Rays: Two rays originating from a common endpoint and extending in opposite directions, inherently forming a straight line.

Fundamental Concepts

Postulate/Axiom: A foundational statement accepted as true without proof, serving as a basis for logical reasoning in geometry.
Intersection: The points shared by two or more geometric figures, crucial for understanding overlaps and relationships within designs and spatial configurations.
