Points, Lines, & Planes

Front

What is a point in geometry?

Back

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

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 plane in geometry?

Back

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

Front

How can a line be named?

Back

A line can be named using any two points on the line or a lowercase 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 does it mean for two lines to intersect?

Back

Two lines intersect if they cross each other at a single point.

Front

What is a parallel line?

Back

Parallel lines are lines in the same plane that never intersect and are always the same distance apart.

Front

What is a transversal line?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between a point and a plane?

Back

A point can lie on a plane, but it does not define the plane.
