Definition

Point: A point is a mark of position. It has neither length nor width nor thickness and occupies no space. It is usually denoted by a capital letter.

Fundamental Concept of a Point

1. Visual Representation:

  • A point can be represented by marking a tiny dot on paper using a sharp pencil.
  • The sharper the pencil tip, the thinner and more precise the dot will be.

2. Ideal Representation:

  • In geometry, points are considered to be infinitely small and dimensionless.
  • The dots used for representation should be as thin as possible to closely resemble an ideal point.

3. Identification of Points:

  • Points are usually denoted by capital letters such as A, B, and C.
  • When marked on paper, they are referred to as Point A, Point B, and Point C.
