Plane Geometry

If you like drawing, Geometry is for you!
Plane geometry is all about shapes like lines, circles and triangles ... shapes that can be drawn on a flat surface called a Plane (it is like on an endless piece of paper).

dimensions

Point, Line, Plane and Solid

Point has no dimensions, only position
Line is one-dimensional
Plane is two dimensional (2D)
Solid is three-dimensional (3D)

Hint: Try drawing some of the shapes and angles as you learn ... it helps.
