This guide provides a comprehensive overview of fundamental geometric concepts, including points, lines, angles, and circles. Learn about points in space, the different types of lines (including parallel, intersecting, and skew lines), the classification of angles (right, acute, obtuse, complementary, and supplementary), and the properties of circles (including chords, diameters, and radii). Each term is clearly defined and illustrated with relevant examples, making this resource an excellent tool for students and anyone looking to understand the basics of geometry.
E N D
Point An exact location in space. • A Label: Point A
Line A set of points continuing without end in both directions. • • B C Label: BC
Segment Two points and the straight path between them. • • D E Label: DE
