Points, Lines and Planes (Geometry)

Front

What is a line in geometry?

Back

A line is a straight one-dimensional figure that extends infinitely in both directions and is named by any two points on the line or a lowercase script letter.

Front

How is a plane defined in geometry?

Back

A plane is defined by any three non-collinear points or by an uppercase script letter.

Front

What does the symbol '≅' represent?

Back

The symbol '≅' represents congruence, indicating that two figures have the same shape and size.

Front

What is the intersection of two lines?

Back

The intersection of two lines is the point where they meet or cross each other.

Front

How is a line segment defined?

Back

A line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct endpoints.

Front

What is a ray in geometry?

Back

A ray is a part of a line that starts at a point and extends infinitely in one direction.

Front

What are collinear points?

Back

Collinear points are points that lie on the same straight line.

Front

What are non-collinear points?

Back

Non-collinear points are points that do not all lie on the same straight line.

Front

What is the difference between parallel lines and intersecting lines?

Back

Parallel lines never intersect and are always the same distance apart, while intersecting lines cross each other at a point.

Front

What is a transversal line?

Back

A transversal line is a line that intersects two or more other lines at distinct points.
