Geometry A Mathematical System

The document outlines the fundamental concepts of geometry, specifically focusing on the undefined terms: point, line, and plane. It explains their properties, postulates, and theorems related to their relationships, including the conditions for parallel and skew lines. Additionally, it includes activities for students to apply their understanding of these concepts in real-life situations.

Geometry a

Mathematical
System :
Undefined Terms
Objectives

At the end of the lesson the students


• Define Points, Lines and Planes.
• Demonstrate their understanding on
Points, Lines and Planes through the
given activity
• Applied their understanding on
Points, Lines and Planes in real life
situation.
Undefined Terms

-The three undefined terms in geometry


are point, line, and plane. These terms are
referred to as "undefined terms" because
they are not defined in terms of any other
geometric concepts. They are the most
basic building blocks of geometry.
-Undefined terms are not given formal
definitions. Instead, their meaning is
conveyed through examples and intuitive
descriptions.
Points,
Lines and
Planes
Point
no dimension,
meaning it has no
size, width, length, or
depth.
Line
A line has one dimension -
length. It extends indefinitely
in two directions and is made
up of an infinite number of
points. A line can be named
using two points or a single
letter.
Plane
has two dimensions -
length and width. It
extends indefinitely in
all directions, like a
floor or wall.
