Question

How many points are marked in the following figures? Name them. \[\]

Answer 1

Hint: We recall the shape points from geometry and recall that points are always named by single capital letters from English alphabets. We see the figure and find all the capital letters. We count them the total number of points. \[\]

Complete step by step answer:
We know that point is a basic geometrical object with no length or area. It is also called a presentation of one dimension. We always name a point by capital letters from English alphabets for example A, B, C, etc. We can neither touch nor hold a point. \[\]

We find the capital letters and we shall get the points. We see in the left-most part there are four capital letters A, H, F, and E. We see in the middle part of the figure there are four capital letters K, L, M, N. We see in the rightmost part of the figure and find four capital letters as B.C, J and D.
So there are 12 capital letters and hence there are 12 points. \[\]


Note:
The part of the line between two points is called the line segment and the distance between those two points is called length. We should always remember that a line segment is always named with the two points and length is always named using small letters from the English alphabet. The given figure is the figure of a cuboid, which looks like the figure of our geometry box. We see that it has 6 faces, 8 corners, and 12 edges. Any point at the corners is called the vertex. We see in the figure that the points A, H, F, E, B, C, D, and J are vertices. The points K, L, M, and N are at the edges.
