1 Introduction to Geometry: Points, Lines, and Planes

2 Basic Geometric Figures
Point: Location in space represented by a dot and a capital letter. Points have no size, only position. Example:

3 Basic Geometric Figures
Line: Connected series of points that extends in both directions without end (represented by arrows). Lines can be named by any two points on the line, or by one lowercase letter.

4 Basic Geometric Figures
Plane: Infinite set of points forming a flat surface extending in all directions, represented by a four-sided figure. Example:

5 Basic Geometric Figures
Segment: Part of a line bounded by two endpoints.

6 Basic Geometric Figures
Ray: Part of a line that starts at a certain (end)point and continues forever in one direction.

7 Naming Geometric Figures
Intersection: The point shared by two crossing figures.

8 Naming Geometric Figures
Parallel: Two lines in the same plane that never intersect. Represented by symbol “||” (line 1 || line2)

9 Naming Geometric Figures
Skew: Two or more lines that do not lie in the same plane. They are not parallel and do not intersect.

10 Real Life Example FedEx E Find four segments that intersect AC.
Find three segments || to AC. Find four segments skew to AC. A F B FedEx G C H D
