Some essential definitions in geometry
A branch of mathematics that studies the properties of two and three dimensional figures such as triangles, circles, cylinders, and spheres.
A geometric figure that has position but no length, width, or depth
A part of a line that consists of points A and B and all points in between
A point that divides a line segment into two parts of equal length
When two line segments have the same measure, we say that they are
It is the part of a line that begins at some point (say, A) and continues forever in one direction
A figure formed by two rays with a common endpoint
A common endpoint when two rays meet at that endpoint to form an angle
