Basic Geometrical Concepts
Fundamental concepts of Geometry
 
Point
 
It is an exact location. It is a fine dot which has neither length nor breadth nor thickness but has position i.e., it has no magnitude. It is denoted by capital letters A, B, C, O etc.
 
 
 
Line segment
 
The straight path joining two points A and B is called a line segment
 
 
Ray
 
A line segment which can be extended in only one direction is called a
 
Line
 
When a line segment is extended indefinitely in both directions it forms
 
Collinear points
 
If two or more points lie on the same line, then they are called collinear points.
 
 
 
Non-collinear points
 
Points which do not lie on the same line are called as non-collinear points.
 
Example:
 
E, F, G, H, I
 
 
Intersecting lines
 
Two lines having a common point are called intersecting lines. The common point is known as the point of intersection.
 
 
Concurrent lines
 
If two or more lines intersect at the same point, then they are known as concurrent lines.
 
 
Plane
 
A plane is a surface such that every point of the line joining any two points on it, lies on it.
 
Example:
 
Surface of a smooth wall, surface of a paper.
