 POINT
A position in space. It has only location but
no dimension, length, width, thickness and
does not occupy an area.
A point is named using a CAPITAL LETTER
and it can be modeled by a dot.
A B C E
D
All other Geometric figures are made up of a
collection of points.
 LINE
A line is a set of points arranged in a row. It is
extended endlessly in both directions. It is a one-
dimensional figure. Two points determine a line.
That is, two distinct points are contained by
exactly one line. We use a lower case letter or any
two points on the line to name the line. It has no
thickness. line m m line AB or line BA
A B m

 PLANE
A flat surface that extends infinitely along its
length and width. It is like an “infinite sheet of
paper”. It has length and width but no thickness.
It is named by a single script CAPITAL LETTER or
by any three points in the plane which are not on
the same line

Subset of a Line
A line is an infinite set of a points.
Segment
Segment AB, denoted AB or BA is the union of
points A, B, and all the points between them. A
and B are called the endpoints of the segments.

many mathematicians, and
organized these important
studies of Hippocrates,
Theudius, Theaetetus and
Eudoxus into a systematized
body of knowledge known as

Postulate 5
There is one-to-one correspondence
between the points of a line and the set of
real numbers such that the distance
between any two points of the line is the
absolute value of the difference between
the corresponding numbers.
Example of Postulate 5
A, B, and C are three different points on the same line.
AB = 4, and BC = 6. The coordinate of B is 5. If B is
between A and C and the coordinate of A is less than
the coordinate of C, find the coordinates of A and C.

Coordinate of A Coordinate of B
5–x = 4 y–5 =6
-x=4 - 5 x = 1 y = 6+ 5
(-1) - x = -1 (-1) y = 11
 Postulate 6
Given two points P and S on a line, a
coordinate system can be chosen in such a
way that the coordinate of P is 0 and the
coordinate of S

Definition of Betweenness
Point P is said to be between A and B if and
only if A, P, and B are distinct points of the
same line, then,
AP + PB = AB
Example of Distance Between Two Points
A P B

0 5 10 15 20 25
Solve for AP
20 - 8 = 12 Solve for AB
Solve for PB AP + PB = AB
24 - 20 = 4 12 + 4 = AB
16 = AB
Congruent Segments
Segment AB is congruent to segment CD if
and only if the length of AB is equal to the
length of CD. In symbols,

AB ≅ CD if and only if AB = CD
Example of Congruent Segments
A 7 cm B

C 7 cm
D

Since AB is 7cm long and CD is also 7cm long,

then AB ≅ CD
Midpoint
M is the midpoint of AB if and only if
a. M lies between A and B, and
b. AM = MB
Example of Midpoint
P, Q, and R are points on a line. The
coordinates of P and Q are -2 and 4,
respectively. If Q is the midpoint of PR, what
is the coordinate of R?

PQ = QR Let x be the R
4 – (-2) = x - 4
4+2 =x-4

6 +4=x
10 = x
