Definition
In Geometry, a point is one of the undefined terms, meaning it is not formally defined using other terms but is understood intuitively.
A point represents an exact location or position in space. It has no length, width, or height—in other words, it has no size or dimension.
Key Characteristics:
It is one of the three undefined terms in geometry (along with line and plane).
It indicates position only, not size or shape.
It is considered dimensionless.
It is typically represented by a dot and labeled with a capital letter (e.g., point A).
Example:
In a geometric figure, point A marks a specific position but does not occupy any space.
