             Geometry is an interesting area of Math that requires a proper understanding of the basics. The fundamentals of Triangles, rectangles and rectilinear figures need to be properly taught in order to understand higher concepts. Basic Geometry is mainly taught at primary and secondary level and it covers some basic concepts of geometry.

Point:

      It is an exact location. It is a fine dot which has neither length nor breadth nor thickness but has position i.e., it has no magnitude. It is denoted by capital letters A, B, C, O etc.

      The straight line path joining two points A and B is called a line segment

Ray:
