POINT

A point is an exact position or location on a plane surface. It is important to

understand that a point is not a thing, but a place. We indicate the position of a
point by placing a dot with a pencil. This dot may have a diameter of, say,
0.2mm, but a point has no size.

The single pool ball in the

center of the pool table,
represents a point/dot. The
black pool ball takes up space
on the pool table and has a
location ( center ).

Two intersecting lines forms a point in the

middle.
Example, look at the two pictures I provided.
While driving 4 cars come to a four way at the
same time. A point is formed in the middle of the

LINE

A road is an example of a line. In this picture you

can see that you are looking down a long line.

PLANE
A flat, two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely far.

A oversize checker board is an example of a plane

in real life.

Segment

The bars on
the fairs
wheel, is an
example of an
segment. From
the middle to
the top of one
bar are both
end point and
them form a
segment.
A linesegmentis a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct end points, and
contains every point on the line between its endpoints. A closed
linesegmentincludes both endpoints, while an open linesegment excludes

Ray
The flash light &
sun both give off
light rays,
because the light
leaves from them
and go away from
the object
infinitely.
A ray is part of a line, has one fixed endpoint, and extends
infinitely along the line from the endpoint. Opposite
math rays are rays with a common endpoint, extending in
opposite directions and forming a line.

Collinear points
The four
point on the
globe are
collinear
because,
three or
more points
on the same
line are
collinear
points.

Three or morepoints, , , ..., are said to

becollinearif they lie on a single straight
line

Acute angle
definition.
Ananglethat
measures less
than ninety
degrees but
more than
zero degrees.

Acute
angle

The fork in
the road is
an example
of a acute
angle,
because in
the middle
of the both
roads form
an angle
thats less
that 90
degrees.

Obtuse Angle

Ananglethat
measures more
than 90 degrees
but less than 180
degrees

THE OUTSIDE LAYER OF THE

SPIDER WEB, IS AN EXAMPLE OF
A OBTURE ANGLE. AS YOU CAN
SEE THE ANGLE IS MORE THEN
90 DEGREES BUT IT DOESNT
FORM A STRAIGHT LINE, SO
THEREFORE THE ANGLE IS NOT
MORE THEN 180 DEGREES.

Right Angle
A right
angle
equal
to 90
degrees
The boy is an example of a
right angle by the way he is
sitting and forming a right
angle.

The railroad crossing sign is a example of two

intersecting lines.
