Points, Lines, and Rays

In geometry, every shape starts with a point. When points connect, they form paths!

TermDescription
PointA exact location in space.
LineStraight path that goes on forever in both directions.
Line SegmentPart of a line with two endpoints.
RayA path that starts at one point and goes on forever in one direction.

The Three Main Angles

Angles are measured in degrees (Β°). Think of them as the amount of "turn" between two rays.

TypeMeasureVisual Aid
AcuteLess than 90Β°"A-cute" little angle.
RightExactly 90Β°The corner of a square.
ObtuseMore than 90Β° (but < 180Β°)Wide open.

Use your mouse to draw **Parallel** lines (lines that never touch) or **Perpendicular** lines (lines that cross at 90Β°).
