Geometry Basics

Front

How many points are needed to make up a plane?

Back

3 or more points are needed to define a plane.

Front

Which is the correct example of how to label a POINT?

Back

A point is labeled with a capital letter, e.g., A.

Front

Name 3 collinear points.

Back

Collinear points are points that lie on the same line. Example: P, Q, & R.

Front

How many points make a line?

Back

A line is defined by 2 points.

Front

What is a line segment?

Back

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

Front

Define 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 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 are parallel lines?

Back

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

Front

What are intersecting lines?

Back

Intersecting lines are lines that cross each other at one point.

Front

Define a point in geometry.

Back

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