Study Notes
- Fundamental Geometric Concepts are explained
Point
- A point is an exact location
- It has no dimensions (length, breadth, or thickness) and occupies no space
- A fine dot made with a sharp pencil represents a point
- Points are labelled with capital letters (e.g., P, A, B)
Line Segment
- A line segment AB is the straight path between two points A and B
- A and B are the end points of the line segment AB
- The distance between A and B is the length of AB
- A line segment has a definite, measurable length
- Only one line segment can be drawn between two fixed points
- Two line segments are equal if they have the same length
Ray
- A ray is a line segment extended endlessly in one direction
- A ray AB extends from point A towards B, marked with an arrow at B and is denoted as AB
- A has one end-point, which is called the initial point
- A ray does not have a definite length
- Representing a ray AB means drawing it as AB
- Many rays can share the same initial point
- Rays AB and BA are different because they have different initial points and directions
Line
- A line is a line segment extended endlessly in both directions
- A line segment AB extended on both sides with arrows represents a line
- It's denoted by AB or BA.
- Arrows indicate endless extension in opposite directions
- Lines have no endpoints and no definite length
- Lines cannot be fully drawn but can be represented on paper
- Lines can also be represented by small letters (l, m, n, etc.)
Plane
- Planes are smooth, flat surfaces extending endlessly in all directions
- Examples include the top of a table, a wall, a paper, or a blackboard
- A plane has length and breadth but no thickness or boundary
- Figures like triangles, rectangles, and circles can be drawn on a plane
Collinear Points
- Collinear points are three or more points lying on the same line in a plane
- Points A, B, and C are collinear if they lie on line l
- Non-collinear points (e.g., P, Q, R) do not lie on the same line
Intersecting Lines
- Intersecting lines are two lines having a common point
- The common point is the point of intersection
- Lines AB and CD intersect at point O
Concurrent Lines
- Concurrent lines are three or more lines in a plane intersecting at the same point
- Lines l, m, and n intersect at point P, making them concurrent
- Point P is the point of concurrence for lines l, m, and n
Parallel Lines
- Parallel lines are two lines l and m in a plane with no common points
- This is written as l || m
- The distance between two parallel lines remains constant
Key Geometric Concepts Results
- An infinite number of lines can pass through a single point in a plane
- Only one line can be drawn through two given points in a plane, and it lies entirely in the plane
- Two lines in a plane either intersect at exactly one point or are parallel
