Basic Euclidian Geometry: Points, Lines, and Planes

The video tutorial introduces Euclidean geometry, developed in ancient Greece, and attributed to Euclid. It explains fundamental geometric constructs such as points, lines, planes, and space, detailing their dimensions and properties. The tutorial also covers idealized geometric concepts and their applications in the real world. Additionally, it defines lines, rays, and line segments, and discusses how these elements can be used to create various geometric figures and angles.
