LET’S TRY!
Tell whether each of the following represents a point, line, or a plane.
A C

D
• All other geometric figures are made up of a collection of points.
LINE
• A straight, continuous arrangement of infinitely many points. Its
length is infinite. It extends infinitely in two directions. It has no
thickness.
d line d
A B line AB or line AB
PLANE
• A flat surface that extends infinitely along its length and width. It is
like an “infinite sheet of paper”. It has length and width but no
thickness.
• It is named by a single script CAPITAL LETTER or by any three
points in the plane which are not on the same line.
