GEOMETRY

GEOMETRY IS ALL ABOUT SHAPES AND

THEIR PROPERTIES.
 PLANE GEOMETRY

• IS ABOUT FLAT SHAPES LIKE LINES, CIRCLES

AND TRIANGLES ... SHAPES THAT CAN BE
DRAWN ON A PIECE OF PAPER
 SOLID GEOMETRY

• IS ABOUT THREE DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS LIKE

CUBES, PRISMS, CYLINDERS AND SPHERES.
 A POINT IS AN EXACT LOCATION. IT HAS NO SIZE,
ONLY POSITION.

• THE EXACT LOCATION OF A POINT CAN BE

SHOWN USING CARTESIAN COORDINATES.
 POINT, LINE, PLANE AND SOLID

• A POINT HAS NO DIMENSIONS, ONLY POSITION

A LINE IS ONE-DIMENSIONAL
A PLANE IS TWO DIMENSIONAL (2D)
A SOLID IS THREE-DIMENSIONAL (3D)
• A LINE HAS NO ENDS.
• WHEN IT DOES HAVE ENDS IT IS CALLED A
"LINE SEGMENT".
• WHEN IT HAS JUST ONE END IT IS CALLED A
"RAY"
 PLANE
• A PLANE IS A FLAT SURFACE WITH NO THICKNESS.
• OUR WORLD HAS THREE DIMENSIONS, BUT THERE
ARE ONLY TWO DIMENSIONS ON A PLANE:
• LENGTH AND WIDTH MAKE A PLANE
• X AND Y ALSO MAKE A PLANE
• A PLANE HAS NO THICKNESS
• A PLANE HAS 2 DIMENSIONS (AND IS OFTEN
CALLED 2D):
 PLANE VS PLAIN

• IN GEOMETRY A "PLANE" IS A FLAT SURFACE

WITH NO THICKNESS.
• BUT A "PLAIN" IS A TREELESS MOSTLY FLAT
EXPANSE OF LAND ... IT IS ALSO FLAT, BUT
NOT IN THE PURE SENSE WE USE IN
GEOMETRY.
• THINGS, OR WELL UNDERSTOOD
 SOLID GEOMETRY IS THE GEOMETRY OF THREE-
DIMENSIONAL SPACE,

It is called three-
dimensional,
or 3D, because there are
three dimensions: width,
depth and height.
 PARALLEL LINES
• LINES ARE PARALLEL IF THEY ARE ALWAYS THE
SAME DISTANCE APART (CALLED
"EQUIDISTANT"), AND WILL NEVER MEET. JUST
REMEMBER:
• ALWAYS THE SAME DISTANCE APART AND
NEVER TOUCHING.
