Armed with a compass and a protractor, you might take on complex geometry concepts at school, but how sure are you about the basics? These interactive tasks are all about simple geometric terms.
1. First, can you tell a line, line segment and ray apart?
Good job! A line extends forever in both directions; a line segment is a part of a line that has two endpoints; and a ray is a part of a line with one endpoint.
2. Standing line, sleeping line — but which is which?
3. To intersect or not to intersect? That is the question.
Great going! Intersecting lines pass through the same point, while parallel lines never meet. Perpendicular lines are intersecting lines that meet at right angles.
