| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| a location; has no size or shape | point |
| a straight path that extends in two opposite directions without end and has no thickness. Contains infinitely many points | line |
| a flat surface that extend without end and has no thickness. contains infinitely many lines | plane |
| points that lie on the same line | collinear points |
| points and lines that lie in the same plane | coplanar |
| set of all points in three dimensions | space |
| an accepted statement of fact | postulate (axiom) |
| the set of points two or more figures have in common | intersection |
| a part of a line that consists of two endpoints and all points between them | segment |
| a part of the line that consist of one endpoint and all the points on one side of the endpoint | ray |
| two rays that share the same endpoint and form a line | opposite rays |
| Through any two points there is exactly one line. | Postulate 1-1 (points and line) |
| If two distinct lines intersect, then they intersect in exactly one point | Postulate 1-2 (lines intersect) |
| If two distinct planes intersect, then they intersect in exactly one line | Postulate 1-3 (planes intersect) |
| Through any three noncollinear points, there is exactly one plane | Postulate 1-4 (points and plane) |
