What is a point?

In mathematics, a point is a single position in space that has no length, width, or depth, and is represented as a dot. It has no dimension and serves as the fundamental building block for constructing lines, shapes, and figures in geometry.

What is a line?

A line is a one-dimensional geometric figure that extends infinitely in both directions and is straight with no curves or angles. It is the simplest form of a shape and is defined by two points connected by a straight path.

What is a plane?

A plane is a fixed-wing aircraft that is able to achieve lift and sustain flight through the forward motion created by engines or propellers. It is typically used for transportation of passengers and cargo over long distances.

What is a ray?

A ray is a geometric term used in mathematics to describe a line that extends infinitely in one direction from a fixed point, known as the endpoint. Rays have no defined length and are represented by an arrow indicating the direction in which it extends indefinitely.

What is a line segment?

A line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two endpoints. It is a straight path connecting two points, and it has a measurable length.

What is a geometric proof?

A geometric proof is a method of proving mathematical statements using geometry principles, such as angles, lines, shapes, and properties of figures. It involves constructing a logical sequence of steps that demonstrate the validity of the statement based on established rules and theorems in geometry. By showing how each step logically follows from the previous ones, a geometric proof provides a convincing argument for the truth of the mathematical statement.

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. It can be represented by the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where 'a' and 'b' are the lengths of the other two sides and 'c' is the length of the hypotenuse.

What is the angle measurement system?

The angle measurement system is a way of quantifying the amount of turn or rotation between two lines or rays that meet at a common endpoint. It is typically measured in degrees, with a full circle being 360 degrees. Other common angle measurements include radians and gradians.

What are congruent figures?

Congruent figures are shapes that have the same size and shape, so when overlapped perfectly, they match exactly without any gaps or overlaps. This means that all corresponding sides are equal in length and all corresponding angles are equal in measure between the two figures.

What is the parallel postulate?

The parallel postulate states that, given a line and a point not on that line, there is only one line that passes through the point and is parallel to the given line. This postulate is one of the five postulates in Euclidean geometry and is fundamental in understanding the properties of parallel lines and angles in geometry.
