Study Notes
Points, Lines, and Planes
-
Line: Composed of two distinct points, a line extends infinitely in both directions and possesses no thickness or width.
-
Point: Represents a specific location in space, devoid of any shape or size. Identified using a capital letter for naming purposes.
-
Collinear Points: These are points that all reside on the same straight line, indicating a specific linear relationship among them.
-
Non-Collinear Points: Require at least three points that do not all lie on the same line, establishing a form of spatial disconnection.
-
Plane: A flat, two-dimensional surface created by any three non-collinear points. It extends infinitely in every direction.
-
Coplanar Points: Points that exist within the same plane, exhibiting a shared two-dimensional space.
-
Non-Coplanar Points: Comprise points that are not contained within the same plane, demonstrating a three-dimensional relationship.
-
Intersection of Lines: When two lines cross, they do so at a single point, indicating a shared location.
-
Intersection of Planes: Two planes intersect along a line, creating a shared linear section within the three-dimensional space.
