Geometry Undefined Terms

The document defines basic geometric terms like point, line, ray, segment, plane and space. It states that a point has position but no size, a line segment has two endpoints and definite length, and a ray has an endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction. A plane is a two-dimensional surface with no thickness. Key postulates and theorems about angles and lines are presented, including: if two angles are vertical angles then they are congruent; if two angles form a linear pair then they are supplementary; and if two intersecting lines form a right angle then they form four right angles. True/false statements are provided to test understanding of the definitions and concepts.

Theres a plane in the subject Geometry. Theres a line, on a plane in the subject Geometry. Theres a ray, on a line, on a plane in the subject Geometry. Theres a segment on a ray, on a line, on a plane, in the subject Geometry. Theres a point on a segment, on a ray, on a line, on a plane in the subject Geometry.

Point is a dot, which usually has no size but has a relevant position. Line Segment is a part of a line consisting of two endpoints and all points between them. Ray/Half-Line is a part of a line that begins at a particular point (called the endpoint) and extends infinitely in one direction. Line set of points that extends infinitely on both opposite direction. Plane is a flat two-dimensional "surface with no thickness and no finite length or width) Space set of all possible points; made up of infinite planes.
