Key Topics to Revise

1

Basic Geometric Elements (Point, Line, and Plane)

  • Point, line, and plane are undefined basic concepts in geometry - they cannot be defined using simpler terms
  • A point represents a location and has no dimension (length, width, or height)
  • A line is a straight path that extends infinitely in both directions and has only one dimension (length)
2

Coordinates and Distance

  • On a number line, each point corresponds to exactly one real number called its coordinate
  • The coordinate tells us the position of the point on the number line
  • Distance between two points is always positive (non-negative)
3

Betweenness

  • Betweenness applies only to collinear points (points on the same line)
  • For three collinear points P, Q, R: if d(P,Q) + d(Q,R) = d(P,R), then Q is between P and R
  • Betweenness is written as P-Q-R when Q is between P and R
4

Segments, Rays, and Lines

  • A line segment consists of two endpoints and all points between them
  • A ray has a starting point and extends infinitely in one direction
  • A line extends infinitely in both directions
