1. Types of Basic Problems

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Point: A precise location in space with no size, shape, or dimension. It is represented by a dot and named with a capital letter (e.g., point A).
  • Line: A straight, one-dimensional figure that extends infinitely in both directions, composed of an infinite number of points. It is usually represented by a line with two arrowheads.
  • Plane: A flat, two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely in all directions. It is often visualized as a sheet of paper and is named using three non-collinear points (e.g., plane ABC).
  • Ray: A part of a line that starts at a point (called the endpoint) and extends infinitely in one direction. It is represented with an endpoint and an arrow indicating the direction (e.g., Ray AB).
  • Line Segment: A part of a line bounded by two endpoints, containing all points between them. It has a definite length and is represented with a line connecting two points (e.g., segment AB).
  • Angle: Formed when two rays share a common endpoint (called the vertex). It measures the rotation between the two rays and is usually expressed in degrees.
