The precise definition of a point is:
- a straight figure that has no thickness and extends infinitely in two opposite directions
However, it seems this description more accurately applies to a line rather than a point. A point is actually defined as a specific location in space with no dimensions (length, width, or height).
For clarification on the other definitions provided:
- A straight line that always remains the same distance from another line and, therefore, never intersects it refers to parallel lines.
- A part of the circumference of a circle or other curve that measures the distance between two points on a curve is known as a arc.
- A line that intersects another line at a 90-degree angle is termed a perpendicular line.
If you are specifically looking for the definition of a point, it is commonly defined as an exact location in space with no size or dimension.
