Basic Concept

1) The document defines basic geometric terms like point, line, ray, line segment, plane, angle, and their relationships. 2) It explains concepts like collinear and non-collinear points, intersecting and parallel lines, perpendicular and complementary angles. 3) The document serves as an introduction to concepts in solid mensuration and geometry that are important for understanding length, area, volume, and their calculations.

Solid Mensuration
Lesson 1
Introduction to
Solid Mensuration
A POINT is a location in space; it indicates
position. It occupies no space of its own, and it is
no dimension of its own.
A LINE is a set of continuous points infinitely
extending in opposite directions. It has infinite
length, but depth or width.
A RAY begins at a point (called an endpoint
because it marks the end of a ray) and infinitely
extends in one direction.
A LINE SIGMENT is a piece or part of a line
having two endpoints.
COLLINEAR POINTS are the points that lie
on the same straight line or in a single line. If
two or more than two points lie on a line close to
or far from each other, then they are said to be
collinear, in Euclidean geometry.
NON-COLLINEAR POINTS are three or
more points that do not lie on the same straight
line.
MIDPOINT is the middle point of a line
segment. It is equidistant from both endpoints,
and it is the centroid both of the segment and of
the endpoints.
MIDPOINT is the middle point of a line
segment. It is equidistant from both endpoints,
and it is the centroid both of the segment and of
the endpoints.
INTERSECTING LINES are two or more
lines cross each other in a plane. The
intersecting lines share a common point, which
exists on all the intersecting lines, and is called
the point of intersection.
A TRANSVERSAL LINE, in geometry, passes
through two lines in the same plane at two
distinct points. Transversals play a role in
establishing the parallelism of two or more other
straight lines in the Euclidean plane. It intersects
two lines at distinct points.
A PLANE is a two-dimensional space or flat
surface that extends indefinitely. A plane is the
two-dimensional analogue of a point (zero
dimensions), a line (one dimension) and three-
dimensional space.

COPLANAR POINTS are any number of
points that lie on the same plane. A set of one,
two, or three points are automatically coplanar.
NON-COPLANAR POINTS are points that do
not lie on the same plane.
PARALLEL LINES can be defined as two
lines in the same plane that are at equal distance
from each other and never meet.
SKEW LINES are lines that do not intersect
with one another, do not run parallel to one
another, and do not coplanar with one another.
An ANGLE is a space formed by two rays
called SIDES sharing a common endpoint called
VERTEX.
ADJACENT ANGLES are two angles are
Adjacent when they have a common side and a
common vertex (corner point), and don't
overlap.
An ANGLE BISECTOR divides an angle into
two angles of equal measure.
A DIHEDRAL ANGLE is the angle between two
intersecting planes or half-planes.
Two angles are COMPLEMENTARY if the
sum of the angles is equal to 90º (ninety degrees).
SUPPLEMENTARY ANGLES are those
angles that sum up to 180 degrees.
VERTICAL ANGLES are formed when two
lines intersect each other.
A PERPENDICULAR ANGLE angle is a right
angle. A right angle is one that measures 90
degrees.
A TRANSVERSAL is a line that passes
through two lines in the same plane at two
distinct points. Transversals play a role in
establishing whether two or more other lines in
the Euclidean plane are parallel.
