Point vs. Vertex: What's the Difference?
Edited by Harlon Moss || By Janet White || Updated on October 27, 2023
A point refers to a precise location or spot in space, while a vertex is the meeting point of two or more lines or edges, typically in geometry.
Key Differences
A point is a fundamental concept in mathematics and geometry, representing a specific location in space. It has no size, length, width, or depth. A vertex, on the other hand, has a more specific definition in geometry: it is where two or more straight lines or edges meet.
In the realm of everyday language, point can have a myriad of meanings, from the tip of an object to an argument's main idea. Vertex is less common in daily conversation and retains its geometric significance, specifically referring to the corner or intersection of geometric shapes.
When looking at figures such as polygons or polyhedrons, every corner or intersection of the edges is a vertex. Each vertex, in this case, is still a point in space, but not every point can be considered a vertex unless it's where lines or edges meet.
In broader contexts, point could also denote moments in time or specific items on a list. Vertex, in its other applications, might refer to the highest point, like the vertex of a parabola in mathematics or the top point of a mountain.
Essentially, while every vertex is a point, not every point qualifies as a vertex. A vertex has the added criterion of being an intersection or corner, whereas a point simply denotes a specific location.
