Point

A point is an exact location in space.

It has no length or width.
Points have names; represented with a
Capital Letter.
Example:

A
Lines a

A line is a collection of points going on and on

infinitely in both directions. It has no endpoints.
A straight line that continues forever
It can go
Vertically
Horizontally
Obliquely (diagonally)
It is identified because it has arrows on the ends.
It is named by a single lower case letter.
Example: line a
Line Segment
A B C D

A line segment is part of a line. It has two endpoints

and includes all the points between those endpoints.
A straight line that stops
It can go
Vertically
Horizontally
Obliquely (diagonally)
It is identified by points at the ends
It is named by the Capital Letter End Points
Example: line segment AB or line segment AD
Ray
C B A

A ray is part of a line. It has one endpoint and continues on

and on in one direction.
A straight line that stops on one end and keeps going on the
other.
It can go
Vertically
Horizontally
Obliquely (diagonally)
It is identified by a point at one end and an arrow at the
other.
It can be named by saying the endpoint first and then say
the name of one other point on the ray.
Example: Ray AC or Ray AB
Angles C

B

Two Rays That Have the Same

Endpoint Form an Angle. This
Endpoint Is Called the Vertex.
Angles Are Found Wherever Lines
and Line Segments Intersect.

B

An Angle Can Be Named in Three

Different Ways by Using
Three Letters to Name, in This Order,
Example: Angle BAC
A Point on One Ray,
The Vertex, and 1
A Point on the Other Ray;
One Letter at the Vertex; Angle A
Or a Number Written Inside the Rays of the
Angle. Example: Angle 1
Angles C

A
There are 3 types of angles
B

Acute Angle: Smaller than 90 degree opening

A
B
Obtuse Angle: Larger than 90 degree opening

C
A
B
Right Angle: 90 degree opening C

B
Intersecting Lines
Intersecting lines are lines that cross
and have one point in common.
Example: Line AC intersects Line DE at
Point B

D
C
B
A E
Perpendicular Lines
Perpendicular lines are special
intersecting lines that form right angles
(square corners) where they intersect.
Parallel Lines
Parallel lines are lines that lie on the
same flat surface (plane) and never
cross.
Parallel lines are always the same
distance apart and do not share any
points.
Example: Line AB is Parallel to Line CD
C D

A B
