Points, Lines and Planes
The most basic figures in geometry are undefined terms, which cannot be defined by using other figures.
Point These are theLine building blocksPlane of geometry
Points, Lines and Planes
● A Point is simply a location
Vocabulary
Points, Lines and Planes
● A Line is made up of points and has no thickness or width. Points on the same line are said to be collinear.
AB
CD
These points are collinear

Points, Lines and Planes
A Plane is a flat surface made up of points. Points that lie on the same plane are said to be coplanar. A plane has no depth and extends infinitely in all directions.

Points, Lines and Planes
A line containing point NThe line can be named as line c.There are three points on the line. Any two of the points can be used to name the line.

A plane containing points P and M• The plane can be named as plane A.• You can also use the letters of any three
noncollinear points to name the plane.• Examples: plane MNP plane MOP plane NOP.• There are 18 different 3-letter names for this plane.

Draw and label a ray with endpoint M that contains N.
A postulate, or axiom, is a statement that is accepted as true without proof. Postulates about points, lines, and planes help describe geometric properties.
