In geometry, formal definitions are formed using other defined words or terms. There are,
however, three words in geometry that are not formally defined. These words are point, line and
plane, and are referred to as the "three undefined terms of geometry".
While these words are "undefined" in the formal sense, we can still "describe" these words.
The descriptions, stated below, refer to these words in relation to geometry.

 POINT

POINT
• a point indicates a location (or position) in space.
• a point has no dimension (actual size). 
• a point has no length, no width, and no height (thickness).
• a point is usually named with a capital letter.
• in the coordinate plane, a point is named by an ordered
pair, (x,y).

While we represent a point with a dot, the dot can be very The size of the dot drawn to represent a
tiny or very large. Remember, a point has no size.  point makes no difference. Points have no
You can name your point as long as it represents a capital size. They simply represent a location.

 PLANE

PLANE
• a plane has two dimensions.
• a plane forms a flat surface extending indefinitely in all
directions.
• a plane has infinite length, infinite width and zero
height (thickness).
• a plane is drawn as a four-sided figure resembling a
tabletop or a parallelogram.
• a plane is named by a single letter (plane m) or by Plane m or Plane ABC.

 Collinear points are points that lie on the same straight line.

 LINE

LINE (straight line)
• a line has no thickness. 
• a line's length extends in one dimension.
• a line goes on forever in both directions.
• a line has infinite length, zero width, and zero height.
• a line is assumed to be straight.

SUBSETS OF A LINE

The subsets of a line are the segments, the rays, and the points. Points are subsets of a
line that follow the points on a graph through which line runs. Rays are part of a line which is
finite in one direction, but infinite in the other. A line segment is a subset of a line with two end
points. A ray is different from a line because it has a starting point or origin, and extends
infinitely from there, whereas a line extends infinitely in opposite directions.

 LINE SEGMENT
A line segment has two endpoints. It contains these endpoints and all the points of the
line between them. You can measure the length of a segment, but not of a line.

This is the line segment. Line

segment AB

This is the line segment. Line segment

BC
 RAY
A ray is a part of a line that has one endpoint and goes on infinitely in only one direction.
You cannot measure the length of a ray. A ray is named using its endpoint first, and then any
other point on the ray.
A B

This is a ray. Ray AB or you can

name it ray A or ray B.

These are rays in infinitely

different directions. Ray BA or ray A and Ray CD or ray A and

ray B ray B

 LINE
A line can be named either using two points on the line.

KINDS OF ANGLE

There are many different classification of angles. We will define them in this lesson.
Study the images carefully so you can understand about them.

 ACUTE ANGLE
An angle whose measure is less than 90 degrees. The following is an acute angle.

 RIGHT ANGLE
An angle whose measure is exactly 90 degrees. The following is a right angle.

90°

 OBTUSE ANGLE
An angle whose measure is bigger than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.
Thus, it is between 90 degrees and 180 degrees. The following is an obtuse angle.

 STRAIGHT ANGLE
An angle whose measure is 180 degrees. Thus, a straight angle look like a straight
line. The following is a straight angle.

 REFLEX ANGLE
An angle whose measure is bigger than 180 degrees but less than 360
degrees. The following is a reflex angle.
Types of angles: How to name a pairs of angles

 ADJACENT ANGLES
Angle with a common vertex and one common side. <1 and <2, are adjacent angles.

 COMPLEMENTARY ANGLES
Two angles whose measures add to 90 degrees. Angle 1 and angle 2 are
complementary angles because together they form a right angle.
Note that angle 1 and angle 2 do not have to be adjacent to be complementary as long as they
add up to 90 degrees.

 SUPPLEMENTARY ANGLES
Two angles whose measures add to 180 degrees. The following are
supplementary angles.

 VERTICAL ANGLES
Angles that have a common vertex and whose sides are formed by the same lines.
The following (angle 1 and angle 2) are vertical angles.
