MSE2183 ASSIGNMENT 2 2023
Question 1
1.2
Activity 1.1
The three building blocks of Geometry adapted from the MSE2183 Study Guide:
(a) A point is the most basic building block of geometry. It has only one location, has
no size and can be represented by a dot.
(b) A line is a straight arrangement of indefinitely many points, it extends continuously
in two directions, it has no thickness, it has infinite length.
(c) A plane is a flat surface, it is indefinitely large, has zero thickness, has length and
width, represented by a four-sided figure, it looks like a tilted paper.
A ray is a straight arrangement of indefinitely many points, it extends continuously in one direction, it
has no thickness, and it has infinite length. A ray is a special type of a line, and it is represented by
having a point on one end and an arrow on the other end.
Two or more points are said to be collinear if they lie on the same line.
Points 𝐸, 𝐹 and 𝐻 are collinear.
Points 𝐼 and 𝐿 are collinear.
