Study Notes

What is a Straight Line?

A straight line is a set of points that extend infinitely in two directions.

Lines in Euclid's Elements

In Euclid's Elements, lines are defined as breadthless length.

Dimension of Lines

Lines are considered one-dimensional, having only length but no width or thickness.

Line Segment

A line segment is a part of a line that has a definite length and ends at two points called endpoints.

Euclidean Line and Geometry

Euclidean line and Euclidean geometry terms were introduced to avoid confusion with non-Euclidean geometry, which includes hyperbolic and elliptical geometries.
