Points, Lines, and Planes

Front

What is a point in geometry?

Back

A point is a specific location in space that has no size, dimension, or shape.

Front

Define a line in geometric terms.

Back

A line is a straight one-dimensional figure that extends infinitely in both directions with no endpoints.

Front

What is a line segment?

Back

A line segment is a part of a line that has two endpoints.

Front

What is a ray?

Back

A ray is a part of a line that has one endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction.

Front

What does it mean for points to be coplanar?

Back

Coplanar points are points that lie on the same plane.

Front

How many points are needed to define a line?

Back

Two points are needed to define a line.

Front

What is the intersection of two planes?

Back

The intersection of two planes is a line.

Front

What is a plane in geometry?

Back

A plane is a flat two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely in all directions.

Front

What is the difference between a line and a line segment?

Back

A line extends infinitely in both directions, while a line segment has two endpoints.

Front

What is the definition of collinear points?

Back

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