Document Summary
Geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of shapes, sizes, and positions of objects in space. It is one of the oldest branches of mathematics, with its origins dating back to ancient greece. The word "geometry" is derived from the greek word"s "geo" meaning. In geometry, there are some basic definitions that you need to understand. These definitions provide a foundation for the study of geometry. Point: a point is a position in space that has no length, width, or thickness. Line: a line is a straight path that extends infinitely in both directions. It has no thickness and is represented by a straight line with two arrows at the ends. Ray: a ray is a part of a line that has one endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction. It is represented by a straight line with one arrow at the end.
