Post-Test Points, Lines, 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

What is a line in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What is a line segment?

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 is a plane in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean for lines to be coplanar?

Back

Lines are coplanar if they lie in the same plane.

Front

How many points are needed to define a line?

Back

At least 2 points are needed to define a line.

Front

What is the correct way to name a plane?

Back

A plane can be named using three non-collinear points or a single capital letter.

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 significance of a point in geometry?

Back

A point serves as a fundamental building block in geometry, representing a location without size.
