Excerpt from The Elements of Plane Geometry
A solid has three dimensions - length, breadth, and thick ness.
The boundaries of a solid are surfaces. A surface has two dimensions -length and breadth.
The boundaries of a surface are lines. A line has one dimension length.
The extremities of a line are points. A point has posi tion, but no magnitude.
When a point moves continuously, it traces a line. Like wise, a surface may be generated by a moving line, and a solid by a moving surface. Hence we may conceive of a surface as existing in space without reference to its being a boundary of a solid. In like, manner we may conceive of lines and points as existing independently in space.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on plane geometry, the study of two-dimensional figures. From its origins in ancient times when it was first used for practical applications such as land surveying to its role today in a wide variety of fields including engineering, architecture, and astronomy, plane geometry is a subject of enduring relevance. The author presents theorems and proofs in a logical progression, with corollaries and exercises added to reinforce the reader's understanding. By exploring the properties and relationships of lines, angles, triangles, and other figures, this book provides a solid foundation in the fundamental principles of geometry.
